The last experiment we carried out on the Trials car B.47.AE. to overcome judders was to fit steel carrier plates. We understand from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} that this car is considered to judder less than other cars. We did not have the car long enough in Derby to be certain on this point. Will Sales therefore let us know whether they can say to what extent the car with steel carrier plates is an improvement over the standard chassis. Ha/H.Grylls. | ||
