Hi Mark,
the assembly sequence is really tricky IMHO. Only after receiving some copies
of origional Girling maintenance sheets I understood what to do (I'm an
engineer and have usually a lot to do to with technics). I couldn't figure out
what was correct.
The files are some scans in jpg format. Size around 1,7 MB. I can mail them to
anyone interested.
Best regards from Germany
Martin
