RE: "GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" - CROSS STEERING TUBE JOINTS.
I forgot to ask you yesterday whether the joints on the cross steering tube of "Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) II" with the wide split and the single row of bolts along the bottom had proved entirely satisfactory. We want to know this before deciding on the joints for the side steering tubes.
