I am forwarding an exhaust manifold lug broken off GTL-14, 30-HP car, mileage 1,270. This is the first service complaint, and I should say from the fracture the manifold has been tight on the studs. The elongated hole does not appear to be ample in width or length. I have received By's memo. 17/G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 26.8.36. in answer to my report upon manifolds.
