| -2- 2 July 36. The exhaust blow in the front expansion box was due to front tubular stiffening piece breaking away from main body. 21st. June. Repeated trouble with the flat stay between the exhaust pipe and gear box buckling. ------------ The whole of the exhaust system failed from the manifold onwards. The changes made were done to keep the car running. There was nothing left to standardise. What about 6.B.LV. are you going to say you cannot standardise that system. It has failed already.
