PHANTOM III - Rear Axle, etc. N Sch.4647 shows the arrangement of the lubricating pipe along the rear axle, to lubricate the shock damper and roll-rod connecting rods. The pipe is placed in a position to avoid being damaged by the roll bar levers and rebound slings and also to be protected from stones. We also show a modification to the rebound sling and rubber, to give .250" greater clearance than now with the axle tube. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} File Att: N Sch.4647. File | ||
