We have received the Ferobestos discs for the slipper wheel. These will be fitted as soon as the car returns. HE DAMPERS We propose to increase the spring load on the damper glands to see whether any improvement is made. If this does not produce better results, we shall melt the beeswax out and saturate the asbestos glands with tallow. G.W.H. | ||
