| To DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X8380 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7/LG23.11.25. BODY SUBFRAME. X8380 X8940a You will see by the experimental reports that the two front body bolts holding the subframe to the brackets have broken on 8-EX car running in France. As the car had only run 2,000 miles it would appear that a definite improvement will have to be made to these bolts. We have not heard from you with reference to the luggage grid which failed. Do you propose to make any alteration? Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
