Three basic types of C-Record era FD, with a subtle variation to one:
- 1. Record, which is immediately apparent from the dog-leg/dovetailed pivot;
- 2a. CDA/2nd gen. Chorus (RS), alloy arm which is chamfered at the end by the cable clamp bolt and (sometimes?) has a drilled braze-on clamp bolt;
- 2b. 1st gen Chorus/Athena, unchamfered alloy arm;
- 3. Athena/Veloce, steel arm.
I think 2a and 2b may have had hex and Allen head nut variants, but I gave up squinting at low res catalogue scans and C-Record era in general a while ago: life got so, much easier in 1995. :)

TL/DR
CDA/2G Chorus on the left, Athena/Veloce on the right (of the first picture).

Thanks! Great stuff. I heard that you were the expert @Scilly.Suffolk, very nearly copied you in for that reason... ;) Glad to hear that one is the right era to match the rest of group... Finished project will be posted to the forum next week- I hope!!

Cheers again, S.

Most welcome, but I'm no expert: I operate on the principle that if you make enough noise, people will assume that you're right... :)

What group are you going for?
