Further to our Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.18.9.35, it is not now desired to put the phosphor bronze bottom steering pivot bush on SpectreCodename for Phantom III 2 for France but on another car for purposes of experimental testing, before trying it in France. The bushes on SpectreCodename for Phantom III 2 should be casehardened nickel steel following the standard practice on all our other cars. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
