WRAITH GEAR BOX - 1st. MOTION SHAFT.
Herewith is PD.311, shewing the straightened form of 1st. Motion Shaft intended to be standardised, subject to test, on 'C' Series. A new clutch hub is required, but it is understood to be a Borg & Beck standard.
The nose on the gearbox cover is modified, and so is the clutch withdrawal bearing and housing.
Details urgently required.
