| cont'd (2) We have had misfiring trouble through oxidized sparking plugs Battery M& B points are in good condition, and have not required any attention , Magneto also has been trouble free. No anxious moments yet from engine suspension, this having settled down after the first 1,000 miles. Steering. This is excellent from every point of view, both for slow and high speed work, and has given every satisfaction. Brakes. Are very good all round and show excellent wearing quality, no adjustment having been necessary, although road conditions warrant much use of same. Rear Axle. quite trouble free. Springing. We could do with more damping on the front springs over rough roads. The riding of the car with a full load of 6 people is very excellent, even over the worst of roads at all speeds. Rear springing is very good. The buffer clearance of front springs is hardly enough. Body Work. This has withstood the rough conditions extraordinary well. cont'd | ||
