Hallam - Head Repairs} 20 HP. FRONT AXLE CONTROL. X.5420 When you were here last you said that there were still cases of people going off the road due to the axle turning over during braking on a lock. Obviously the urgency of this front axle control job on the 20 HP. depends upon how serious the trouble is. Could you send through a report on it if you consider it of sufficient importance. One would imagine that the Test and Repair shops have some experience of this defect if it is important. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
