When removing the front shock dampers from the frame we have experienced difficulty with the two top bolts turning. As a bare chassis where there are no wings a spanner can be put on the head of the bolts, but with a complete car it is impossible to get a spanner near the head of the bolts. We suggest that locking plates be used to prevent the bolts from turning. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
