J.III TYPE SHOCK DAMPERS We are expecting to find that an alteration will have to be made to the valve chamber and valve on the J.III type dampers. This will effect all cars fitted with these dampers. In order to avoid unnecessary scrap will you please instruct production to go very slowly with the parts concerned.
