| Marles-Weller Steering Shafts | Marles Weller steering boxes were fitted to many Alvis
models in the 1930s. There have been problems with cracked steering
shafts on these boxes and at least one has broken, leaving the
driver with no steering. There are known design and manufacturing
faults in these boxes and new shafts were produced which overcome
them. These shafts are now sold out, but it is known that more cars
survive than new shafts were sold. Consequently it is proposed to
manufacture a further batch. Click HERE
for details, including which cars are affected.. |
