OY says that whatever the load of the new dampers the sides will not flex on the road as the present chassis won't suffer much with oscillations. Front dampers with another construction to work owing to the rigidity of the frame. (7) OY has also had trouble with lack of sideways frame rigidity and says the body should provide all that is necessary. He says the V12 even as is at the right place and that its stiffness is added to by that of the body. | ||
