Mr Hives.

Cricklewood.
Nov 19th

I am taking the liberty of enclosing a stay taken off a Phantom III 3AZ mileage 481 which has come in for clutch jagger. The stay holds the engine lengthways and takes the thrust. The locating bushes should be a good fit. In this case the holes in the stay have been filed, are not round, and is generally a poor job.

After examining would you please give instruction for a replacement.

G.H. Hancock.
