Hancock - Head Chateauroux}2/JH.27.8.37. Phantom III. Hydraulic Tappet Filter Body cover E.87788. This is to confirm my verbal complaint of the stripping of the threads in the Filter body cover E.87788 by Chauffers in service when replacing the Swivel plugs E.87380. The trouble is becoming prevalent owing to the fact that the tappet filter is having to be cleaned weekly to keep the oil supply to the plungers adequate.
