Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Smth.4/KW.16.4.36.

22-G-V - Clutch.

We want to continue running the original clutch in this car. Will you please replace clutch No.24 on C-17 by No.26 off C-16.

Will you also refit the oilite cage pilot and trunnion thrust bearings if you are satisfied that they are still in good condition. The 1st motion shaft from C-16 will have to be used. Oil should be cut off from the trunnion thrust bearing, but not from the other lubricated surfaces of the trunnion.
