Huckerby}15.12.34 re 25 H.P.CHASSIS - ENGINE RUBBER MOUNTING - SERIES "F" (51st onwards) As discussed with you the other day, although from the engine sweetness point of view it is considered a great improvement has been achieved with the above model, there are ~~some~~ outstanding features which we feel will be complained of by customers, as follows .. (1) Change Gear Lever Vibration Rattles.- This, if anything, is more pronounced than on previous chassis, and definitely comes on about 20 m.p.h. (2) When the engine is idling, car standing, the front chassis movement, wings, etc. are more pronounced than on the previous chassis. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
