The RH kingpin on my 1600 Coupe is bent. I have aacess to a complete assembly from a 1500...is the only difference the steering arm, and can my existing 1600 arm just be transferred to the 1500 unit?

the only thing that springs to minds is that they may have different steering arm link pars ..but I could be talking a load of rubbish .:S
Look here on Moss site: http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=29224 It shows what you need to know. The swivel link #23 is common to all. If that is what is bent use just it. The lever #24 comes in 3 versions and the knuckle #30 comes in 2.
Three different knuckles (one is Twin Cam).

Four different steering arms (one is Twin Cam).

The earliest knuckle and steering arm are not interchangeable with later parts.
The locking notch in the side of the swivel pin may need to be re-machined (with tapered reamer) if the mated knuckle and swivel pin are swapped (no longer original mated pair).
