X 3461 B With reference to By5/P27919, asking whether standard stamp- ings, castings and jigs can now be got going for the rear shock dampers, we have to give a tentative decision on this shortly. As you are aware the petrol tanks after the first 75 chasses are suitable for fitting rear shock absorbers when ready, but I am not sure whether the rear axles will have the new bracket fitted and the rear springs will be shortened on some chasses. Perhaps you will confer with Mr. Day and clear this point up. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
