GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II. RADIUS RODS. X4Z63 There have been more than one car we believe running about fitted with temporary scheme of radius rods, and one at least has done quite a considerable mileage. We should therefore be much obliged if you could tell us in what state you found the ball joints as regards wear, and clean-ness. Any information you can give us tending to indicate the amount of work which these radius rods have to do, would be very useful. | ||
