In bringing this into line with the Phantom, it will be just as necessary to use the larger Bijur Pump as there are the same number of points to lubricate on both cars. We therefore suggest that the one pump F.82353 should be standardised for the two cars. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
