Re: Heat in 'Phantom's - back of Car.

You will recollect your recent recommendation in regard to Asbestos underneath the floorboards.

Certain of the Coachbuilders have started using 'Euralite'.

I attach copy of letter written to Hooper's recently on the subject, which will be self-explanatory - together with copy of their reply.

Do you see any objection to them carrying on with what they have been doing?
