| GRY{Shadwell Grylls} Watch this for vibrations and noise. Ru. x328 [stricken]Hx. from HDY.{William Hardy}[/stricken] [stricken]O.S. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Rvy.[/stricken] HDY.{William Hardy}1/HP.25.9.35. Phantom 3 Gearbox. We understand that the gearbox stay has failed on production cars and that it is of an obsolete type. The correct stay is shewn by N.Sch.4567. It is necessary to attach a triangular piece to the cross in the frame with this stay. The height of the boss on the gearbox should be checked to see that it is in agreement with the frame.
