RE "GOSHAWK II" - CARBURETTER - SEIZING OF THROTTLE VALVE SPINDLE.

We are still having trouble with the seizing of the P.B. Throttle Valve Spindle, and would like to know as soon as possible if you are in a position to recommend the fitting of the chilled P.B. Cast bushes E.52671/2 or E.52573/4 as instructed to you under memo BY/Shn3/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}20.4.23.

The other alternative we understand you are trying out, is making the spindle in stainless steel.

Will you please report to Mr Bailey as soon as possible.
