Notes
- One piece: a base plate, a foot under the elbow (its seat is the elbow's outer surface) that carries the cold leg, a foot under the capped run of the hot tee, and a diagonal strut from the base up to a bearing block with two 625 pockets at the crank.
- The strut runs 40–56 mm behind the plane of the legs, clear of every clamp and of the flywheel.
