B.III, B.50 AND W.80 FRONT YOKES. Whenever the yoke of the front suspension of the B.III series of cars has to be changed, as for instance on W.80, we want the upper silentbloc bearing raising .100" by lengthening the yoke. This is to enable greater clearances to be provided in the dampers to facilitate production. Until the dampers are altered, .100" of packing may be used under them. We do not want any more dies sunk until this modification has been incorporated. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
