| X328 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.10/KW.17.12.35. Front Gearbox Rubbers G.83856 & G.83858. We have received 3 sample car sets of these rubbers from the Harboro Rubber Co. Unfortunately the rubber durometer hardness is 75-80 where the drawing calls for 55-60. As the rubbers so far received are required so that chassis can be assembled, will you please produce - 6 Washers G.83192 6 " G.83855 6 " G.83198 6 Rings G.83859 This will enable replacement rubber to be produced.
