There is going to be considerable difficulty in getting quickly another set of dampers having grooves and increased valve damping disc clearances, together with the old type fixing, for the above car. It appears that N. will have to effect this modification some time so they might as well start with this chassis. Will you please send 4 grooved pistons and I will write to Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} with regard to fitting them and modifying the valve damping disc. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
