Thanks for the response, yes a type 14 pan for a type 34 body, so far so good and yes it's like putting a square peg into a round hole. The front end on the T34 has been removed at some point in its distant life and the 4 little rubber bushings are missing and the 4 big wrap-around rubber pieces are sort of usable but have been torn by who ever tried to take the front end off in the past. It would be nice if you come across some but I will also be looking at the Square back in a day or so.
