I'm putting new (to me) radius arms in my 110. They came out of a range rover classic. But on is marked with red paint and the other with green... appart from some kind of Brittish Nelsonian reference to Port and Starbourd might there be any other reason for this?

You need to measure the old arms and the new ones to make sure they are the same width. Other than that possible problem they are not handed as far as I know.

Andrew,
Old ones too narrow. A brit army thing I'm sure. They thrashed around in the space wearing out the bushings. New-to-me set correct width. Old set perfect condition sans bushings and will go up on the for sale board.

No, it is a new versus old thing. They went with wider radius arms at some point probably to make the handling tighter. The downside is the wider one articulate quite a bit less than the narrow ones. In any case, the radius arms should match the axle. Maybe someone swapped axles and left the old arms on there?

John,
That is exactly what I think happened. Serial number on axle seems newish compared to the 1990 frame. But because the new-to-me arms are color coded I wasn't sure if there was a subtle 3d camber or something else easy to miss.
