X.3806 X.5350 X.840 X.5410 N.sch.2565 - I do not like the coiled tube. Could we not put the oil pressure direct on to this pin (front end of rear spring), then take a connection off the spring eye in the centre. True the pin may be overoiled, but the spare could go into the gaiter. Anyway a good fitting pin ought not to leak much. This oiling scheme will be in time become simpler. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
