| X7120 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/M25.7.30. 26-EX. - BODY FOR R.{Sir Henry Royce} X.7120 X.7830. Barker's tell us that they have needed another .500" of rubber on the rear supports for this body when the centre support is correct and the clearance between the subframe cross members and the chassis are O.K. Please do not think that we mention this as a complaint as we realise that the subframe has had to be built up by hand. It would help Barker's however, if you could send them a pair of bolts for the rear support about .500" longer than standard, as the bolts supplied are of course too short.
