Exhaust System. IM When the car arrived, the stays both at the front and rear of the engine were buckled. New stays of the correct length were made and fitted. We have had no further trouble with those at the rear, between the pipe and the clutch pit, but the front stays are a different shape everytime we look at them. We are afraid they are not doing much good. ---------- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} Frank. Waller. | ||
