E.5/HP.4.1.33.

No.5. With regard to the material of the steering box bracket, we questioned the advisability of using aluminium for this part and mentioned a strengthening feature being added by Derby on the inside end of the boss. Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} will look into the question of an alternative bracket in mild steel, or aluminium bronze.
