Dear Spurrier, I understand that you now have the forgings and the drawings and that there are difficulties in getting the forgings on your existing production machines. If it would serve any useful purpose, I am quite prepared to come up to Leyland and discuss the difficulties. We are in a jam for crankshafts. Yours sincerely, | ||
