6-B-IV.

In order to prevent the Girling brake equalizer on the front axle hitting the radiator it will be necessary to fit the highest poundage production front springs and .375 packing under the bump buffer. These are some 850 lbs. springs on production.

This will be necessary even when the equalizer has been lowered.
