| RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} (crossed out) c.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 874^60 BY/SS{S. Smith}1/J.10.6.31. 25-EX - 10,000 Miles A.C.Petrol Pump. In fitting the A.C.Petrol Pump to 25-EX for 10,000 miles trials, the special parts instructed for the R.H. Chassis to Sch.1480 can generally be used. The following notes may be found useful:- 1/- The filter portion of the pump forming the cover should be moved through 180° on all six bolts. 2/- The front portion of the camshaft bearing should be macnined to E.81474. 3/- The rocker gear on the camshaft bearing should be assembled the same as the R.H. shewn on Sch.1480 and not handed. 4/- The magneto control bracket will not be required. 5/- The existing opening in the T.H.C.Case for the petrol pump requires tapping .8125-20 T.P.I. and it should also be noted a new camshaft gear wheel E.82201 is required. 6/- Also please note modification to Dynamo Drive Oil Connection.
