58-GN.

Apart from fitting the Diamond engine mounting to this car will you please arrange to have the rear axle examined to find the cause of the whistle which appears to come from the pinion thrust bearing. In addition, there is a bad knock in the steering column thrust race - will you please have this attended to.
