I can confirm that Gerrit's observations about the front/mechanics 
relation matches with the six 1541-II drives that I have at hand here 
right now.

PS: As a side note I can add that the Mitsumi/Newtronics lever mechanism 
is preferred by the C64 Disk Transfer (and preservation) Team - simply 
because its lever mechanism is all metal - where parts of the Chinon 
lever mechanism is made from platsic. The Chinon typically lever wears 
down after 5000-10000 disks (15000 if you are careful)
