For the purpose of leaving more clearance between the petrol pump and bonnet fastener when the bonnet is being closed on the 25/30 chassis, we issued on the 2nd of this month a scheme LeC.5099. This scheme shows an extension bracket for moving the position of the pump further in towards the engine, and we have taken advantage of this alteration at the same time to incorporate the rubber mounting for the pump. The request for a rubber mounting came along too late for this feature to get instructed on production. We have followed the pattern of the extension bracket through to make sure that its shape blended with the existing bracket, and we should be glad if you would now have this scheme rigged up as soon as possible as cars are being delivered to customers, and it will be necessary to make this alteration on all 25/30 chassis. As soon as brackets of the existing type have been dealt with the extension can be made part of the same casting, as shown on LeC.5142. Casting D59870 RHE E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} asked for on 21-9. W 4-6-36 A set of parts have been despatched to G.W. at Chateauroux for 22.
