Please receive herewith the following
F.CD.1057 Rear Frame Extension and Jack Bracket.
The above scheme shews the rear end of the frame of a length suitable for standard type body overhangs. In order to cater for special bodies with increased tail overhangs, we shew a box extension piece to attach to the end of the frame.
Please instruct experimentally, as this scheme may be required for the production 50 sets.
