I've just been lucky enough to buy this early type centre stand for my XS1B without the traditional mutilated or ripped off tongue.
It is twisted along the axis of the centre tube but that's only to be expected after fifty years or so.
I'm also wondering if it's been bent narrower at the bottom.
Measuring across the outside of the feet I'm getting 273mm at the widest point.
Could someone who's lucky enough to have a perfect stand please find the time to run a tape measure across the stand feet and see what they get.
The only other stand I have is well battered, not much point taking any dimensions off it.
