We are having trouble with the four bolt flange on the P.II exhaust downtake pipe. Distortion takes place so consistently that it is necessary to reface the flange almost every time it is re-erected after having been dismantled, otherwise exhaust blows occur. Will you please arrange to stiffen this piece up to overcome the trouble. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
