Will you please let us know whether there are any signs of oil leakage from 3.B.IV rear axle. This car has larger bolts holding the axle tubes to the end plate, larger bolts securing the pinion housing, and an oil seal in place of the usual acme thread. We should like to know whether so far these are satisfactory. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
