DAMPER. We think the quickest way to get a damper on this car is to make a new hub to take the old type 20 HP slipper wheels. We have all the parts except the hub a drawing of which is attached. Will you please make the hub as soon as possible and fit it to the car setting the fviction at 10 lbs at 17¼" radius.
