Copy to - HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 'U' SERIES CHASSIS CONTINENTAL TOURING SALOON. We have previously asked that this chassis should be prepared with the cross member carrying the brake equalising gear suitable for the synchro mesh gearbox, even though the standard gearbox is fitted - that is to say - the cross member should be 31" from the back of the dash. As a result of modifications sent to you on Nsch. 3331. this dimension will now be 31.5". DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
