B.V., 50, & SILVER WRAITH STEERING MOUNTING.

We have specified the rubber mounted steering column to FCD.992 for chassis 11, 12 and 14.B.V. and 3.B.50. In order to avoid the cost of moulds for the rubber part FB.4355 we wish to make it temporarily from rubber sheet and tube.

Will you please make the necessary details and instruct for the above chassis.
