Phantom III Engine & Gearbox Links. At present a large amount of fore and aft movement of the engine and gearbox is possible owing to excessive clearances at the end of the tie links. We consider it important that the ends of the links should be a dead fit, or otherwise the tendency to clutch jaggers will be aggravated. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
