20/25 Steering.

We are in difficulties with the 20/25 steering, particularly since we fitted the Terraplane engine mounting.

We should like to try the Terraplane front axle on the 20/25. Will you please tell us whether you can fit this for us. For the purposes of the test we can use the Terraplane front wheels.
