re. 20.HP. CHASSIS PRINTS - TOOL BOXES. X4260
We thank you for your BY/C2/H21524. and suggest that since we are prepared to standardise tiebars on the Goshawk, and these we believe project about 12 1/4" below the top flange of the frame, we can allow the coachbuilder to fit tool boxes projecting to an equal extent. The step iron is 8 7/8" below the top of the frame, and therefore the tool box could project 3 3/8" below the step iron horizontal face. Will Derby please make the necessary modifications to the chassis prints.
