Will you please arrange to fit a heat shield on the silencer of 8-EX as soon as the parts are available.

Also will you please let us have one Phantom throttle governor casing fitted with ball bearing shaft for test purposes. If you have not a spare available we could borrow one off an existing car as we shall only require it for a few days.
