(11) Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}
The dies are not due in for 3 weeks. It is not satisfactory to sweat alum-bronze. We suggest that all suspension units should be tested with pressure until the correct parts are available.

(12) Oil Leaks from the rear axle pinion.
This should be improved when the perfect seal gland has been fitted the correct way round.

(13) Rear bottom suspension triangular bracket just hits the frame on full bump.
Metal from the frame will have to be removed locally.
