Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG25.8.21. X.4373 - RADIATOR SUPPORT BRACKET. We have completed 100 hours running on the Bump with the radiator support brackets made from a pressing instead of being machined from a forging. We have had no signs of failure with these brackets, we recommend that we should standardise them.
