This occurs on the bump rig and we have had one case on the road. The lever has been set out from the original arrangement because it fouled the frame.
We find that the fixing of the shock absorber lever by means of a square and biting-in-bolt is working satis- factorily on the bump test since we have made the lever fit tightly on the square. The first onen which we had trouble with, the drawing shewed a clearance between the square in the lever and the square on the rotor.
