| - 2 - 12/- We should look up American design of petrol tank filler (hinged cap type), and use instead of our design if possible. Mr. Mattinson will get me 'A' drawings from our set of American prints. 13/- I think we should try and get the bumper fittings on the second chassis only. Here also BY/Mtn. should look up details and let me have them. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} will have to decide from the position of the parts whether items 9 and 10 can be as now stipulated or as instructed originally. I do not want to bother about the small modifications on these chassis, such as :- a/- Slight modification to gear box. b/- New rear camshaft bearing. c/- Backing light and similar issues. 14/- We must fit American hinged petrol cap. 15/- We must fit the modified spare wheel carrier at the rear arranged to take 7" tyres.
