| -2- Engine. We have already suspected piston knocks. Listen for these cold and hot. The hydraulic tappets are not the latest design. These should be brought up to date as soon as possible. Report upon accessibility of various parts. Engine Mounting. This is too flexible, see if it can be damped. Steering. A new steering is to be fitted. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Sump. Will you keep a watch for the new bottom half. It has not as yet come through (tests required for oil splash when completed). Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
