Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG4.10.20. X.995. CHASSIS INSTRUCTION BOOK. X.20. We notice in the chassis Instruction Book that we give an Inflation Table for Tyres and that we recommend a pressure of 75 to 85 lbs. for Dunlop tyres. We think it would be much better if we left the Inflation Table out of our Instruction Book because we do not agree to the tyre pressures recommended by the tyre makers. We recommend our customers to run with a tyre pressure of 65 lbs. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
