On FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}153 herewith we shew the radiator mounting for 1.B.50 only. The scheme is an adaptation of the final one FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}131 to suit the frame for 1-B-50 as delivered. The rubbers are standard Goodrich pieces No.625. It is thought that on this car it will be possible to hold the heads of the bolts attaching the plates to the front pan by means of a spanner through the hole in the top of the pan for the centre steering lever. On the final scheme, platforms will be raised on the pan to received the rubber blocks. The front brake equaliser is in its new and latest position. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
