X. 5430 X. 5450 One of the reasons for the bad geometry on the 20 HP. cars is the abandonment of the side steering [strikethrough]xxx[/strikethrough] lever on the axle with the ball mounted on a taper solid with the lever. One of these levers was made and fitted, and afterwards we believe removed. One experiment would be perhaps to try this lever again. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
