| COPY.CK.{Mr Clark} X 34616 BY17/H16.3.20. REAR SHOCK ABSORBER. RE SMALL BRACKET F.7724/5 CARRYING BALL END WHICH BOLTS TO THE SPRING BRACKET ON THE REAR AXLE. Will you kindly arrange to instruct the works that they must fit the above bracket for carrying the ball end to the rear spring brackets in order to eliminate as much work as possible when we fit the rear shock absorber after cars have been delivered. In order to keep the Taper Socket in the small bracket from rusting, we should make a special fitting which can be greased and bolted into same, so that all we have to do to fit the rear shock absorber would be to remove the special plug, replacing it by the ball end. In fixing the above bracket, special bolts F.7737 and F.7740 are required, also special nuts F.7741/2. Mr. D'Aethe should add all the above parts to the rear hub and brake part list. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
