Stronger Throttle Spring LeC.5335.
The wire link connecting the spring to the throttle arm fractured at the lower eye during yesterday's running, allowing the throttle to remain half open.
Will you please send us a new link and also hand one to Mr. Elliott who, we understand, may be taking over the car shortly.
