I don't know who completed the restoration, but I can send you copies of old registries going back into the 60's showing previous owners. Contact me directly at john.simmons456@gmail.com

I'm not familiar with the design on the 410 handbrake caliper mounting, but isn't there a provision for shimming between the caliper and the mounting to even the clearance between the pads?

Information on 3033. I had photos imbedded in the original Doc file but had to remove them because of file size limitations for this forum.

I believe that Geoff, Kevin, and Cargirl addressed this issue quite adequately above, so I think there is no need to discuss it further.
My comment was intended as clarification for all the posters...

(km/h/mph)
I: 17.2 / 10.7

410 speeds in gears
I don't have a 410 but what you are experiencing is definitely not correct. My 404 runs 63 mph at 3000 rpm. According to this site you should be about 78 mph at 3000 rpm in top gear, and 90 mph at...
