The result of the Bump chassis tests is awaited with interest with regard to gland leakage, since in this case the surplus rubber in the large gland has been removed. Main Levers FB.3314/Ex.29896. The main levers fitted to the first set of dampers were to Ex.29896 drawing with squared ends instead of serrations, therefore no definite experience has been gained to date on the suitability of the interferences quoted on FB.3314 drawing, although test models are in the course of preparation to determine suitable dimensions.
