| X8992 LE. CANADEL 2-2-26. MR. HIVES. from. DODD. Have received 1600 lbs Spring O.K. but don't think R. {Sir Henry Royce} will have it fitted. he seems quite pleased with the springing now. the car has settled down. G.F.X. is running very well, we get a servo "Jagger" now & again when first starting out if brakes are applied suddenly. The steering is a little 'tacky' on the left lock, noticeable about half lock but does not require much effort to self centre and is quite O.K. on right lock. Tyre pressures are 35° all round. Yours faithfully, F. {Mr Friese} Dodd. | ||
