X235 We are anxious to keep the low pressure loading on the 40/50 HP. rear hydraulic shock damper at a minimum of 60 lbs. + 10 lbs. In order to ensure that the load does not fall below 60 lbs. will you pleasr instruct that this load should be obtained when the air leak is functioning (i.e. the .024" hole). At present we recommend that this hole should be temporarily blocked up until the load on the front damper has been checked. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
