LeC's Herewith are Sch's 5084 and 5086, which show solid bronze bushes in respectively the solid eye and the rolled eye, as designed for rubber bushes. The idea is to have these designs ready, so that the rubber eyes can be replaced by bronze ones, should the former for any reason be found undesirable. But there is no reason at the moment to suppose that this will be so, and consequently though they should be detailed and got ready, there is no need to make anything yet. Nothing except the actual bushes is altered. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} .Sch's 5084 and 5086 herewith. | ||
