| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW. X.3436 W X3436 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW2/LG20.1.21. RE. SILENCER NUT. We are constantly having trouble on Experimental Cars with the Silencer Nut U.729 working loose, in some cases having gone so far as to work right off, leaving the rear silencer suspended. We suggest that a very cheap form of locking device would be extremely beneficial. We should be happy to test anything you design to prevent this happening. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/TMW.
