Experience has shewn that the bolts K.332 and F.78402 holding the top and bottom portions of the rubber engine foot together must be made a reamed fit in F.78142 and F.78141, otherwise the initial clearance rapidly increases due to vibration. This matter has already been taken up with the D.O. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rn. {Mr Robinson} | ||
