| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} X-761B Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KW.15.1.36. A special set of push rods are required with the high compression head which you got off Lappin's car. Please see that you get hold of these with the head. Furthermore, I believe we have some distance pieces which enable the high compression head to be fitted with the standard length of cylinder stud. Will you please let me know if you can get hold of a set of these. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
