X8380 We have cracked another side member on the bump chassis. We are anxious to get a test through on some front springs. We are not interested in side members of the frame. These keep breaking through the anchor points of the tie rods. Will you therefore remove the tie rods. We should like you also to make a quick repair to the existing side member by welding or a fish plate so that we can carry on with the front spring tests.
