Revised Rebound Buffer on Front Suspension Phantom III (NS.{Norman Scott}4957). In view of the fact that the above scheme is required urgently for production it will be necessary to secure the rubber to the metal part in a similar manner as at present. Although it appears that the best rubber to metal adhesion can be made on to sheet metal, we have not tested buffers of this type produced in England. In this case it would mean a change in process and manufacture in order to adhere the buffer to sheet metal. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
