Referring to E1/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 24.8.25. I had noticed the fact that the stud had been made in Delta Metal on the first experimental chassis, and changed it immediately to Stainless Steel. The result of the change was that no car has been delivered with anything but stainless steel stud thro on the filter gauze. I am interested in knowing whether you still want to make an increased in size on the stud, as we have had no case of failure other than the one you speak about, and that was one of the earliest experimental chassis. Before issuing the matter experimentally, we would like to know whether you still feel that the modifications are necessary. BY: By | ||
