| -2- Contd- EH1/LG.16/4/19. 6. Central position for change speed and brake 7. Vacuum petrol feed. 8. Wheel base. 9. Weight of car. 10. Size of radiator. Like most American cars the front hubs and pivots are poor. The wheels have cups and cone type ball bearings; we are having to make cones all round. There is a very big backward lean on the pivots at 1.25" which makes the steering very heavy on full lock. We shall try and improve this. EH. | ||
