RE INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) FRONT WINGS, HEADLAMPS, ETC.

We thank you for your wire, to which we replied, and confirmed.

The wing stays for India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) 4. are standard 20 HP. wing stays bent to suit the wings, which are made for 19" rims. On experimental cars we recommend you bend the stays to suit the wings we shall supply, and that you take an opportunity of making drawings of the stays when so bent with a view to making standard details.

X5800 The headlamp brackets are those we instructed for 12-G4. The headlamps were instructed by us in our DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 2/201028, and are Lucas R.160.S. with electrical dipping reflectors.

With regard to the wheel carrier, this is a single wheel carrier, using most of the pieces of the dual carrier you already have. The only piece that is modified is the triangular stay and the central bolt. These are following immediately.

No side carriers will be needed on any India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) 4. car.
