Trot Salt - Carburation}13/MR.24.7.39. B.80 ROCKER COVER. Trouble is being experienced on the car in France due to shrinkage of the rocker cover sealing washer. Will you please produce a sketch showing a small groove running round the joint face of the cover. The effect of this will be for a small portion of the washer to be pressed into the groove, thus anchoring it to its original position. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C.
