Bird Swin arm differences?

Hi all,
Is there any differences between the rear arm on the Bird through the years?
Reason for asking....rear wheel has been assembled wrongly or the bearing has collapsed,right royal gouge in the left side of the inner arm as the sprocket bolts have done their best to angle grind a new channel.TF I was very near home!
Anyone got one available as I am not riding til it's been done!
Thanks .

Sink or Swin ???

Every model Bird has a G in its swing arm !

Both inj and carby are indeed different in dimensions ...

But BOTH have parts which are spelt S-W-I-N-G ARM

Site pedant :dunno:
