| S. S. PHANTOM. 11. Car General Appearance. Very good. 12. Steering. About the same as Phantom - still signs of kick and joggles on rough roads. Quite reasonable - no signs of wobbles etc. Car generally nice to handle- steering position and action of pedals (light accelerator). Suggest controls still lower - dished steering wheel. 13. One shot lubrication - O.K. except oil leak from pipe to starter motor. Pipes inaccessible in case of failure. 14. Radiators- water drain should clear shields - now collects and rusts up. 15. Oil Leaks - engine centre - cylinder joint to crankcase. 16. Change gear lever - trigger button awkward - brake lever ditto. | ||
