'SS{S. Smith}' ENGINE MOUNTING - 20-EX. We wish to make 20-EX an identical car to 22-EX by stages. The first stage will be to replace the rubber feet on this car by the diabolo rubber four feet as fitted to 22-EX. We should like to run it in this condition and then fit the tubular cross members. After running again, we should like as many of the up to date pieces as are available to be fitted to the car. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
