Series steering damper

My mate wants to fit a steering damper to his series 2a SWB, his chassis
does not have a bracket fitted to it but has 4 holes where the bracket would
be. There are two plates that hang down from the chassis about 1/2 an inch,
one on each side of the main rail. Looking in the parts book there seems to
be two bolt on brackets that can be fitted
NRC4656 for a 109 V8 and 552388 for a 109 1 Ton.
Does anyone know which one will fit?
Looks like NRC4656 is the one but I'm not sure.

Regards

Not the definitive answer, but I think you want the v8 one for
prefernece, as the 1-ton had a different damper bracket on the
chassis, it was slightly lower to accomodate the longer spring
shackles.

Just been looking on Craddocks web site for the parts:
Drag Link with damper bracket NRC4609 £23.38
Damper STC786 £12.45
Chassis Bracket NRC4656 £12.68

Total £48.51

OR they sell a Kit
Steering damper kit all L.R. 1958-84 NRC1133 £128.00

Have I missed something, what else do you get in the kit for the extra
£79.49?

I'd imagine you get two track rod ends with it, some nuts and bolts
and a set of instructions. The damper and drag link are probably
genuine parts, not pattern or something silly, otherwise this just
seems rediculous as there isn't anything else you need with a kit.

I'd ring and ask.
