We appear to have reached what I consider to be the limit in snooping by walking into the Buick Foundry and getting them to despatch a set of cores to teach us how to cast cyls. I hope that you are pushing on with the new Pin engine mounting, the new crank damper and the flexible flywheel. I am thoroughly ashamed of the smoothness of the car we have over here. We must make the Wraith gearbox work on the P14 even if it means altered bottom gear ratios. Nobody allows more than jolly fork transmission over here. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
