RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X5960 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.5/KW11.1.34. We require a set of plungers for J-III silent tappets, giving .0015" clearance in plunger housing instead of .001" as at present. Will you please have a set made similar to last set (plunger to E.59267, plunger body to E.59628) but with dia. of plunger body reduced from 0.5245" dia. to 0.5240" dia. We should like to try these on J-III as soon as you can let us have them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.S. Steadman. | ||
