X.2628 Re. Wear on rear spring contact plates to rollers. X.12956 These seem to wear rather excessively with cars on test which have run any distance. I am sending you a sample of one taken off a chassis on test, which was used on the 10,000 mile piston test, and which has been used for about 2,000 miles running. Will you please arrange to have this returned or replaced. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
