FRONT WHEEL SUSPENSION.

Please receive herewith the following scheme :-

F.CD.822 Lower Triangle Thrust Stay.

The above scheme shews a compressionstay between the lower triangle lever and torque arm to prevent excessive endways movement of the silent blocs. A boss is required in the lower triangle lever arm and one in the torque arm with stiffening ribs.

Please instruct experimentally.
