Use a wdB40/B25 spindle should work fine, but you may be dissapointed in the frame, the earlier frame was a much better trials frame, narrower and lighter, the differences between the <mention of this company is not permitted on Trials Central. Please delete this post> frames in 61 were pretty minor and stuff that would have been changed by now anyway like footrest position.

:agree: Unless the frame you have is OiF but even so it's not much better if at all.

The best option is to use an "Otter" replica frame which is lighter and has better i.e. more modern angles.

Not too expensive as pre65 bits go about

My old man reckoned there was a spacer which sort of bolted inside the swinging arm on one side, and was threaded inside, so the spindle bolts in to this. Make sense?

Maybe someone else can confirm or deny this, and maybe elaborate.
