Re. S.S. CHASSIS.

5. SLIPPER FLYWHEEL CLEARANCE. The clearance between the rear face of the slipper wheel is in some cases so small that it gives trouble. It has been necessary to reduce the projecting end of the camshaft until flush with the nut, and also the length of the 4 studs securing the locking plate.
