In order to lift the Ignition Coils so that they may receive more cooling, would you please put in hand the following special parts :- E.86318. Distance Piece. 1 off. E.86319. Stud. 3 off. The existing Bracket, E.85436, should be modified in accordance with E.86317. Blue prints of these new parts are attached hereto.
