| Ref N7/B5212. X433 Mr Spinney. 5/2/12. Re Rear Springing. HBB1/15212. writing from Le CanadelHenry Royce's French residence. Mr Nadin, says " the car which we have here is fitted with 3/4 eliptic springs, and we find that one of the spring clips fouls the head of one of the bolts holding one of the half spring bracket. From an inspection of this car, Mr Royce does not see any reason why the springs should not be spread out, say 1/2" a side, leaving the wheel track of course as at present". Will you kindly go into a scheme as soon as possible on these lines. | ||
