Phantom 3 - Front Suspension Lubrication. Herewith is N.Sch.4660 showing a Dixtampo or brass forged 3-way junction piece for the pipe connections on the upper triangle. It has been made suitable in shape for the actual run of the pipes, to produce a neater assembly than with a standard 3 or 4-way junction, and one pipe has been eliminated by making use of the hole drilled from the upper triangle bearing to the main supply hole to the pivot, as a restricted feed to the upper triangle bearings. We have also incorporated a felt filter in the junction piece using P.2.parts. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
