| HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. F 646 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.13/AP.11.5.37 WRAITH REAR SPRING RUBBERS FW.1055 We have had trouble on the bumper chassis from the rubber bushes in the spring eyes powdering veryn badly. We therefore want to make certain that the bush dbes not turn on the pin. This can best be done by having a smaller hole in the rubber FW.1055. Will you please make 3 replacement bushes for the mould Ex.27148 having outside diameters of .865, .845 and .825 respectively. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. | ||
