Re Front Spring Shackles. - Z.433

Below is an extract from Mr Hanbury's memo AH6/CD2513 re G.O.Herbert Esq. chassis No.2087E.

"Mr Herbert said he had a slight rattling noise "from outside the front spring shackles, and "cured this successfully by inserting a washer "of about 12 thousandths on the shackle bolt.
"He has now a similar noise occasionally (which "he could not produce for me) from the near "side front wheel, and he wishes to know "whether there is any harm in inserting a "washer to correct this also."

At Mr Johnson's request we referred this matter to Mr Royce, and we attach herewith his reply. (R2/B14513)

Kindly give this matter your attention.
