Exhaust System Further to our memo Chateauroux 3/.10.2.38, you will note from the Daily Report that the pipe has again dropped and is fouling the slot in the cruciform. Will you please send us one of the three following items:- I) A set of flanges and pins which we can have welded on to replace the split joints. 2) An extra suspension bracket and fittings to go where the foul occurs, i.e. alongside the hydraulic jack pump. 3) A new exhaust system which is known to be free from trouble.
