Only in case the radiator shows definite signs
of bad jellying during the complete car final test
should action be taken to alter the radiator fixing.

As regards the fixing of the "shimmy-shackle",
this has not yet been standardised, and unless this
is so we take it we cannot use it for production cars.
In case we find,however, during our complete car test
that the steering gives trouble similar to 60-JS{Mr Johnson's Secretary}, we
shall press for the fixing of this feature to be
considered.
