Wraith 24-G-6. The fit of the Park Ward body on this chassis was excellent, and we have not much in the way of complaints. The following small points, however, should be pointed out to Messrs. Park Ward. (i) Centre of the scuttle approx. 3/16" low. (ii) Windscreen wiper drive to motor on the wrong side. (iii) Increased clearance required to petrol filler and larger cover made. (iv) Side spare wheel carrier bolt not central with wheel well. (v) Drivers cushion required setting in 2" to clear gear lever. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /F. Dodd. | ||
