| X3004 2 G.W. Hancock, Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre, France. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.26/KW.30.10.35. Re Solid Engine Mounting. We are going to send you 2 Caps for use with the alum. block. I believe Fisher has been told to burn the rubber out of the existing caps, and that new complete rubbers will follow. However, it would be extremely foolish to damage the rubbers which have already done some useful mileage. We are having a lot of trouble over your replacement gearbox rear rubber; however, it can't be long now. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
