(2) Swan neck pipe of the Exhaust.
Cases of cars having had cushions burnt and one car having the whole back of the car burnt away, due to contact of the floor and cushions with the Swan Neck of exhaust, were discussed.
Mr. Northey suggested that the pipe at the top of the Swan neck might be flat in section in order to gain more clearance.
Derby suggested that the form of lapping should be improved. This matter will be taken up further by Derby.
