| 4770 To Hd {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} : Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} :1/KW.16.10.34. 22-EX. Since we received this chassis back from the Repair Dept., at which time it was brought up to R.2 series, we have made the following modifications - (1) Fitted Hartford shock absorbers, which we should like to have back. (2) Experimental exhaust silencer. (3) Cadillac fan. (4) Roll rod between the rear shock dampers. New shock damper arms will be needed. We think the rear road springs should be examined as for some time they have had no lubrication. This is due to a Bijur leak from the rear cross member, which is broken and needs replacing. We do not know of any other parts needing modification as we never received the specification for work carried out in the Repair Dept. Provided at that date no experimental features were left on the chassis, none have been added that are not in the above list. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry {Shadwell Grylls} : | ||
