Hi Gianni,
What did they use on the early Series Land Rover with center steering. Just

having done a set, I am pretty sure Scott is right. they have a front and
rear but not a left and right (compare series 1 Landrover which does have a
true left and right with driver weight compensation.)
Cheers Gianni
