Owing to the fact that the petrol filter cannot be satisfactorily fitted to the frame side, we have decided that it shall be brought into line with the 25/30 H.P. chassis and fitted to the 2nd cross member. This scheme of course still incorporates the petrol reserve warning light device. Ph.III 32-EX will have the filter fitted and the second cross member for the next 15,000 miles trip.
