I have noted that they have no lower braces and most of the ones I have seen do have lower braces. Is there a reason for this? Than...

Hi, in the process of restoring a series 2 and the brake compensator has seized. The various halves of the linkage are joined by what appear to be rivets. In order to separate the halves and de-rust / re-plate I will have to drill out these rivets. Does anyone know where I can get replacement rivets...
