p/n info

[Andrew Duane]

AFAIK, the "BX" versus "BV" at the end referred to running upgrades of
the part. That is, when a beefier version, or one with a better mounting
hole or extra washer or something came out, it got a new letter at the
end.

The 100Q's had different axle lengths so they could advertise in the
brochure that they were slightly tuned to accommodate the asymmetric
weight distribution of a driver and no passenger. I remember making a
joke about *my* asymmetric weight distribution :-)

I don't know why the 200 wouldn't have the same; maybe the weight of the
different engine handled that?
