[Silly Little Cars] Silly_little_cars Digest, Vol 85, Issue 22

[Andrew]

There is a known issue with the trunnion plates of the GO-4 Interceptor
III.  Occasional cracking has been evidenced in the bend area of trunnion
plates. The trunnion plates are the structure that attaches the front wheel
to the primary steel tube structure of the vehicle.

The bend area of the trunnion plates should be inspected by owners of this
model. The recommended repair when cracks are identified is a welding
repair and installation of a reinforcement kit. I was able to order the kit
for $132.00 plus shipping.

Attached to this email is the information about the kit, and instructions
for its installation.
