Chm / Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 9-B-5 We have found that the brackets fitted with the silent block mountings, holding the sheet metal dashboard to the frame, have broken away already at the spot welding. Will you please see Child's the fitter and have these removed from 8-B-5 and a stronger job made at this point. The matter is urgent because it is much easier with the wings removed. Yours faithfully F.{Mr Friese} Dodds | ||
