35-EX.

We want to be able to know the oil temperature of the back axle on this car during its run in France.

Will you therefore please prepare a small adaptor which fits the filler plug and is suitable for a Negretti type thermometer. We do not think this latter should be permanently fitted as it will probably foul the rear seats on maximum bump.
