Chassis are held up on the production line owing to the fact that when Overdrive Gearboxes are fitted the present gearbox undershield requires redesigning. It would appear this matter has been overlooked by all concerned inasmuch no instructions have been issued by the D.O. informing the works. An alteration would be required to this shield when fitting Overdrive Gearboxes. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/T.V.Turner. | ||
