| Posted To RH{R. Hollingworth}/ISW. 21.2.39 Two Threads. It is necessary to have at least 1/4" packing to clear the tyre on the steering arm. This then only leaves 3 1/2 threads to hold the wheel on, & insufficient for safety. On the rears there is fair 1" clearance of the tyres on the body brackets. Would you please suggest what we should do? RH{R. Hollingworth}/ H.Race H.Gardiner. | ||
