X5430 X5450 [crossed out] One of the reasons for the bad geometry on the 20HP. cars is the abandonment of the side steering lever on the axle with the ball mounted on a taper solid with the lever. One of these levers was made and fitted, and afterwards we believe removed. One experiment would be perhaps to try this lever again. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
