Vauxhall Motors Ltd., L U T O N, Beds: Dear Oy., I received your telephone message and hope to arrive at Vauxhalls at 1.0'clock tomorrow, Wednesday. I hope you will bear with me until you wish to go home, as I have quite a lot of things I want to discuss with you. Am looking forward also to seeing Taub. Grylls has asked me to ask you for the following information. Should you be able to have it available when I arrive, I should be very grateful:- (1) Photo of skid pan apparatus for measuring front wheel angle (promised a long time ago). (2) Photo of rig for testing axle half shafts at 45° to represent cornering. (3) Is Skefco wheel bearing as good as New Departure? How long does lubricant last? Yours sincerely, | ||
