We should like to get some further mileage on the engine coupling which ran on 35-EX. This is with particular reference to the 3-plate steel universal joint. If the whole of this coupling is satisfactory on crack test will you please fit it to 32-EX. but ommit the .006" washers between the crinkly plates which we understand are difficult to assemble.
