Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/G2314. With reference to your note RB{R. Bowen}/P23214 we are fitting a long propeller shaft and the improved position of cross member behind the gear box, until the new front anchorage of rear spring comes into force, and we are doing it by making the rear spring longer at the front than at the back. It was because we did not want to do this that we pushed the new anchorage along so fast. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} WP X879 | ||
