Wraith II Side and Cross Steering Tubes.

We have been informed that the butted tube to N.Sch.4974 for Bentley III is the design to be adopted, saving approximately 6/- per chassis, and we would be glad if you would apply this to N.Sch.4965 and N.Sch.4966, replacing the turned down tube by a butted tube, slightly reducing the diameter of the forging. These tubes should be instructed for Wraith II.
