EAC.V11 - REAR SHOCK ABSORBERS.

We wish to fit Hartford shock absorbers on the rear axle of EAC.V11 in addition to the present hydraulics.
As this would appear to be a feature which will be included on a number of cars, if this chassis ever goes into production, we should be obliged if you could let us have a scheme for this item.
