Should we increase the dimension of the piston from the centre line of Gudgeon Pin to top of Piston by .040, in order to obtain correct capacity? 10. E.18063 & 4. Swan Neck Connection on Rear Silencer. E.18065. Pipe Flange. Suggested method of manufacture to reduce cost. 11. F. {Mr Friese} DEPARTMENT Steering Column Box, Check Piece T.2417. This part to be made in Delta Metal instead of Aluminium due to large amount of breakages in America. 12. F.4967 & 8. Inner and Outer Plug for Side Steering Tube.
