| LL268 To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} (Paris) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}18/KW.17.12.34. The 25 Bump Chassis has finished 200 hours on the rear. When the front end was bumped did you notice any measurable drop of the engine, as GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} reports his starting handle will no longer engage. Did you order the rubber for your rear axle rubber mount on 30-EX ? and if so what compression did you allow for from the free thickness ? How's 19-G-IV progressing ?
