The death forks info has put my mind at ease but you'll have to bear with me, because I know very little about bikes & am not sure of the terms or the bike parts that you refer to!
Not sure I have version 3 of the fork but hopefully you'll be able to tell from the pics, when I put them up.
I've spent the last few hours trolling through Wikipedia to find out about the parts that you describe in your post, & loving it…
I'm starting to understand more about the workings of it but am still confused about the rear hub & length of axle, but I will carry on searching to get a better handle on it. I didn't know what a Derailleur Hanger was until today...
I will post some pictures when it stops raining!

Hi Brian
Glad to be of help .
Here is the kind of derailleur hanger that you need if the rear right hand side frame drop out does not have one (Aerospace SE):

Here is a drawing that I have done to help explain the differences between the Lambert and Viscount rear hub axle lengths and the provisions for attaching a rear derailleur (double click on the drawing to enlarge it and then zoom in):
Have a close look to spot the differences I can always email the drawing if you want it at a higher resolution (send me a PM).
