| To R.H.C. SpectreCodename for Phantom III II Stabiliser (Rear). We wish to fit Silent Bloc bearings to the Stabiliser (rear) fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom III II, similar to those used on the Cadillac. We send you herewith two schemes showing how we should like this done - one (Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1870) for the bearings supporting the stabiliser rod and the other (Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1871) for the joint at the end of the stabiliser main lever. Will you please have the necessary parts detailed and made so that these schemes can be fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom III II as soon as possible. We have ordered the silent bloc bearings from the makers and will hand them to you on delivery. Ha/Std. | ||
