Coverley - Production Engineer} would look into this. We suggest that the evidence points to the desirability of providing a separate oil feed to a point mid-way between the lower pivot bearing and the needle bearing in the yoke. There is already a boss forged on the yoke piece which could be utilised to take a Bijur union. Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SBB | ||
