I have issued instructions to put back the wiring to the engine side of the dashboard, but have asked BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. to first make a mock-up that everybody can look at, in order to satisfy ourselves that we have got a reasonable scheme from the point of view of cost and appearance. We propose in the first place to make a set up with flexible metallic tubing, instead of the pressed ducts and die cast junction boxes. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
