Handbrake fulcrum on rear axle

[dursleyman]

Just putting a rebuilt axle back in the TR7 and a question comes up on how the handbrake fulcrum/pivot is assembled where it bolts onto the axle casing.
The parts book seems to show only one rubber bush (part no.ACH5103) but the car had two fitted, one either side. I can get it to work but would like it to be correct.
Does anyone have a definitive answer or any good pictures of how it should be assembled please?

Has one on either side. Not the clearest picture but only one I had.

Thanks for the picture, that's what we figured out, and how we fitted it.

Strange that the parts book only shows one rubber bush, goes to show not to take everything you read as correct every time.
There is still room for a bit of common sense.

Cleaning and new bushes for this part make a huge difference to the hand brake (e brake to our LHD cousins).
