Pedals on 22-G-V.{VIENNA} The diagonal link worked loose at the frame end, causing the pedal shaft to drop during the 10,000 miles run in England. This is just secured to the frame by one bolt, and the trouble was cured by riveting over. We think that this should be done on production cars. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
