| SECRET. VJ-94 To By.........from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/IH.28.11.33. re: VULTURE. ---------- Due to sending Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}S.103 and 104 to you in a hurry, we were unable to check over the dimensions. We have done this now and find one or two discrepancies and we would be glad if you would alter the original of Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}S.103. The height of the top bonnet hinge at the dash is given as 29.625; this should be 29.5; as on Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}S.108. In the plan view, the dimensions of the centre line of the spare wheel and that to the top of the brake lever are both shown going to the centre line of the steering column. They should, of course, go to the centre line of the car. You will note that we have shown 19" rims instead of 18" rims. We thought that it would be advisable to allow for the extra clearance so that should the larger wheels be required, they can be fitted. It will also cover the case of having to fit 7" tyres on 18" rims. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
