PHANTOM III - Front Suspension.

The sheet metal bracket holding the C. C. L^n. pipe coil to the pivots etc. on the front suspension has been modified from the N Sch., and asa result the pull-off spring-carrying pillar on the front brake idler lever fouls the nuts holding the bracket to the main lever housing.

N Sch.4646 shews a modification to the position of the nuts to overcome this difficulty.
