We are sending you a set of Cadillac type silent tappet plunger casings - will you please have the present oil supply holes plugged up and the oil supply scheme modified to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1366. (This alteration has already been made on another set ofcasings for L.H.Swindall). Will you also please have another complete set of Cadillac type silent tappet mechanism made to LOP.E.84593 (LeC.3726) as we at present have three cylinder heads suitable for these tappets and only two sets of rocker mechanism. We should like the above oil supply altered as soon as possible as we wish to fit these tappets to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car in about a week's time. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. | ||
