Coverley - Production Engineer}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}1/LS.6.9.37. PHANTOM III. REAR ROAD SPRINGS F.89566/7. --------------------------------------- We note from Standardisation Sheet No. 346 that new clips for carrying the jacking pipe line are called for in connection with the above springs, tool costs for these parts being estimated at £12.10.0d. The new clips F.89582/3/4 differ only slightly from the old ones by variations such as .050 in rivet centres, and on examining 32-EX. we find that standard clips were actually fitted for the 10,000 miles test. We therefore consider that standard clips F.88312 and F.88804 should be retained unaltered, and plates F.88805 should have the 1.225 length of leg reduced to 1.050 which will make these parts suitable for all rear springs. The Standardisation Sheet Tool cost of £12.10.0d will thus be eliminated. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/S.Bannister. | ||
