SIDE SPARE WHEEL CARRIER SUPPORTS AND CANTI-LEVER PEDALS. P.2. We are now able to state that the concealed support for the side spare wheel carriers LeC.3021 and Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}558, and their effect to support the canti-lever pedals F.79749 are satisfactory on 20-EX car. We found the external connection from the dash to the frame Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}558 was necessary. 25HP. We have also tested LeC.3002 for supporting the side spare wheels. This became satisfactory when the external bracket from the dash to the frame Ex.8057 was fitted. We found that the bracket from the front of the dash to the frame E.57099 was necessary. We do not think that this support to the frame will be sufficient with the more flexible type brackets which come from the bottom of the frame as on U series.
