If sufficient movement can not be obtained by raising the radiator in order to make the radiator satisfactory on the road, it will be necessary to remove the material from the cross-member until a road test proves to be satisfactory. It is sometimes necessary to lower the radiator bottom water connection to get the required movement. This is done by fitting a packing E.82714 between the radiator and the connection. Rubber washers are used each side of the packing. When dealing with complaints the control rubbers should be completely removed and the car tried on a bad road surface. If the radiator is satisfactory control rubbers should be fitted of the type of rubber which allows the least movement provided the radiator is satisfactory on the road with such rubbers. If it is not satisfactory with no radiator control rubbers the radiator movement must be increased and the suitable rubbers fitted. We do not want any car to have a lot of unnecessary initial radiator movement, and as each car differs so widely with regard to the required movement road tests at the various stages will be necessary. We attach a print showing the maximum limit of which the material can be removed from the cross-member. We have had cases where the fan has been hitting the bonnet side stiffener causing a load metolic noise. This happens when the car is on Very bad roads. It is necessary to clear the bonnet stiffener to cure this complaint. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/I.A.Leslie. 1 print Att: Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 654 | ||
