Replying to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M11.10.30. The position of the experiments you ask for is as follows:- (1) Adjustable Pedal Stems. P.11. These were fitted to 26-EX. car. We are also proposing to fit them to another experimental car, 22-EX. Our intention is to issue a Std. sheet for these as soon as we have had a chance to examine 26-EX. This we hope will be within the next two or three days. (2) Concealed Bonnet Hinges. P.11. & 25HP. This is fitted to 25 HP. car 18-G4, which we hope to bring to W.W. next week. So far we have not got it fitted to Phantom II but it is proposed that it shall go on 27-EX. car. (3) Modification to Phantom II Bonnet. N.Sch.3096. These have been standardised and will be coming through on standard production cars within the next five or six weeks.
