| 47962 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}:11/KW.11:9:34. B-35-AE. B-11 Unit. We want to fit a light flywheel to this car for Shelsley hill climb. Arrangement EX.15816 does this without altering the 1st motion shaft, but as drawn requires a modification to the crankshaft. We do not wish to alter the crankshaft, and if the fingers foul the ball race housing in the clutch out position we will limit the travel to prevent this happening. The centre plate should be a plain thin disc with RAD.11 linings. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
