STEADMAN WRAITH 80 (30.G.V11). BONNET. hWR / sm Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1114 Bonnet Valance Strip. The above scheme shews the bonnet valance strip and rest plate. The mounting on the radiator yoke piece has been modified to provide an adequate attachment. The valance and rest plate are to be made in mild steel and spot welded together. We have shewn adjustable catches to suit the standard Wraith 'Amal' catches, but we may decide to use the 'Amal' single handle catch which will necessitate redesigning the bracket on the rest plate. Will you therefore please detail and instruct all the parts, but the catches to the Experimental Department. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
