| -2- R2/M2.5.31 contd. Crankchamber. There is no alteration except that lower half has already been scalloped for larger pins - (last 10,000 miles test). Brakes. Will have swivelling tips (anti-squeak). Rear Axle. If the hypoid failed it should have been improved until it was right as the faults were curable, in not being the gears proper, and I understood that this had been done. If, however, Sales do not object to higher floor - .750" - or pots in the floor, I agree to go on with spiral bevels, but it would be regrettable. Petrol Pump. We must have this with twin carburetters as they are usually much higher. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
