(G125) Wraith III Dash Brackets. ------------------------ In conjunction with LeC.5614 showing the bolted in frame cross, we showed a modification to the dash bracket in accordance with the request of RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/TVT.{T. V. Turner} A thick aluminium packing has been introduced to facilitate the erection of the dash board and the production of the standardised bonnet. This necessitated a modified dash bracket and the modifications to the accelerator pedal bearing, and these modifications are shown on LeC.5635 herewith. The change in shape of the dash bracket has forced us to a four-bolted flange for the accelerator pedal bearing, and we have provided a small sheet metal pressing to prevent the heads of these hexagon bolts from turning. The accelerator pedal spring is also slightly modified. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att:LeC.5635. | ||
