| X 300 a G.W. Hancock, Esq., Hotel de France, Chateauroux(French test region), Indre, France. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.14/KW.13.11.35. The demand for lower rating road springs is causing us to become involved with anti-roll rods and radius rods on both the 25 HP. and the Bentley. Naturally we should love to use silent-bloc bushes in order to save rattles and lubrication. Can you let us have any information about the silent-bloc bushes on the roll rod at the rear of Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) II. It appears that the reliability can be largely increased by fitting a more liberal size of silent bloc. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. | ||
