X4329 Would you please tell us where the aluminium base for the front shock absorber broke, as mentioned in your EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}2/LG28.3.22. We should also like to remark with reference to Mr. Hives complaint that he could not hold the central screw for adjusting the spring, that there should be a hole in the frame enabling a box spanner to be passed through from the inside. We shall be glad to know if this is not considered sufficiently accessible? Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DICKINSON BOND | ||
