Re: P.2 Subframe Rear Support Bracket. --------------------------------- Referring to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M22.7.30, I noticed in the 10,000 Mile Report of 24-EX. that one of the subframe brackets had broken on that car. I do not know whether W.W. automatically get to know about these things, but as this is now the third failure it certainly looks as if the matter required investigation from the point of view of the strength of the part in question.
