re Chassis GCK-17 - Sales (Madrid Show car)
------------------------------------------
The above car was sent to us last week by JLE {J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} with a
complaint of low speed steering wobble.
This was cured by rebedding the G.51848 gun metal washers
at the bottom of the steering pivots and by adjusting the side
steering tube ball joint.
