| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} F346 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.24/KW.3.9.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Front Suspension Oil Leaks. Will you please make one chassis set of parts to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2103. So far we have had very little success with perfect oil seals on the front suspension boxes, and would like to try this asbestos type gland. We should like to try them first on one side of the bumper chassis. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
