Explaining why a drill jig plate for hydraulic dampers was incorrect, as it was made for an EAC-8 chassis and not the required 'V' or 'W' series.

X7520 The reason why the drill jig plate was wrong was because it was made to suit an EAC-8 chassis. At the time it was the only drawing we had received for fitting shock dampers to the front and it was not realised that another position would be necessary for 'V' or 'W' series.
