| -> To: JPB c: LS - For information Gry{Shadwell Grylls} Hgs Kgt SB{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}/JA 13.12.65 S3 Front Wings Not to be deterred by your JPB 1/NH 9.12.65 I am going ahead to produce a mock up for everybody's inspection. The SY stainless steel mouldings can be made to fit so there are no big tooling charges such as you suggest. LS's car is a bad example and would have been the subject complaint from a private owner. The styling strips hide all the unsightly ripples so would LS please agree that we can treat this car as an example. This method of rectification will save the Company something like £20,000 so we do not intend to give up without a serious attempt to find a cheap way of rectification. SBB | ||
