| -4- HAC/SBA.AC.HLL.SBA. Jan.1.4. The car now running in France has the latest aluminium cages, coil and rubber glands, and simpli-fied split pistons. Set at 20 lbs., these dampers were very effective. We have a note from Phil concerning the high speed and starting facility of his car. He also reports that the dampers are silent. IWB/HW. | ||
