12 Production Chassis - Phantom III.

Further to our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.2/KW.8.10.35, it has now been agreed with Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} for the front suspension buffers to be attached to the triangular levers, as shown on G.83356.

The forging which carries the bottom buffer will need the lip so that a Dunlop Jack can be used to raise the wheels. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} will supply the necessary scheme.

It will also be unnecessary for the front anti-roll rod or the rear chassis cross bracing, N.Sch.4627, to be fitted to these chassis.
