Hotel de France, Chateauroux, Indre France. 47941 Mr.Hancock from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS. We are sending out to you by air mail a complete N.S. front shock absorber. This is not arranged for the Bijur oiling but it is the only damper we have with the strengthened case which is, after all, the point in which we are mainly interested. Will you therefore please plug up the Bijur connection to the damper and lubricate the torque control arm by hand for the time being. As soon as we have another damper finished machine to suit your car, we will send it out. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
