The purpose of this amendment 06 to W52P1J-21-Q-PT76 is to remove the injection molding parameters requirement, and answer the following questions:

Item 1) The injection molding parameters requirement, item d) under the heading *Molds, is not required and removed.

Question 2) The drawings call out for different materials, is the intent to have all four parts to be made from the plastic from drawing 3864AS110? Or are you going to provide another materials spec?

So, if a material specification is needed, a specific request must be made for the particular specification which is needed.
