The body of 35-EX weighs 13¾ cwts. according to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FD {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 's computation, so this brings the body weight down to 11½ cwts.

We think there is still a further 1 cwt. to be found, and have therefore said that we can with reason guarantee to produce a body for the chassis you are building, which will not weigh more than 10½ cwts.
