I like all the quirky little differences on the Allard.

The rear radius arms are Pilot. The rear axle is Pilot. Pilots had mech rear brakes so the cable brakes may be primary. Pilot had an equaliser mechanism pivoting on the boss in the diff side bell. The front axle is pukka made not welded up. Not made by Ford.
Pilot style 21 studder too. I had invoices like that from Nordian services. The old fella (Wally Wheatley) used to send the parts with an invoice and you used to send the money after you got em. Real old school.
