| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}4/KJ.30.4.30.Contd. interested in is the rate at which an axle can lose oil through a leak of this nature. Having discovered this, we should like to know if the vented axle plug will cure it. The 24-EX axle on/Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s car has all the latest modifications on, so this is really the final one to test, to see if we have produced a cure. We are anxiously waiting to hear that you are satisfied with the centre point lubrication system. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
