To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG18.3.26. SUBFRAME MOUNTING ON PHANTOM. X8380 X8940a We are starting to re-build 8-EX car with a new frame. This is the car which ran 10,000 miles in France and broke the frame. Sometime ago you promised to let us have a scheme for stiffening the frame at the point where it fractured. We should be glad if you will let us know when we can expect this as we have several subframe bodies which we wish to continue to run. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
