FRONT SUSPENSION MAIN LEVER HOUSINGS FOR FIRST 6
PRODUCTION WRAITH CHASSIS.

As Jessop's patterns for the cast steel front suspension housing are to GW.1746/7 having four bolt fixing to the frame instead of the 3 bolt fixing to GW.1590/1, we should like 4 bolt fixings to be used for the first 6 production cars specified in Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/BA.4.10.37.

This will have the added advantage that it will be possible to fit the raised engine mounting to these chassis if required at a later date.
