WRAITH CARS 24.G.VI & 29.G.VI.

We are having trouble with a whistle on the exhaust systems of 27.G.VI and 29.G.VI, and we suspect the rear silencers. Will you therefore please remove the rear silencer from 24.G.VI and make same interchangeable with the one on 29.G.VI and fit a spare silencer to 24.G.VI to keep this car on the road. We will do the necessary dismantling and erecting if you will instruct T.Elston to do the modifications.
