While alterations are being made to the gearbox of this car we wonder whether you could prepare the necessary parts to fit a hardy fabric between the engine and gearbox to overcome the troubles we have with the spherical coupling. We should also like grooved pistons in the shock absorbers to prevent the loss of load that takes place now when the dampers have to do any work.
