Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} WRAITH III - REAR ENGINE SUPPORT BRACKETS. Please receive herewith E.CD.108 Rear Engine Support Brackets - Wraith lll. This design shows support brackets detachable from chassis frame, as requested by Experimental Department, to make it easier to assemble the engine in the chassis when the brackets are removed. Will F.{Mr Friese} Department please note that the holes in the original offside bracket for carrying the accelerator control shaft were only required for Wraith ll and not for Wraith lll, so that they should not be called for in the new bracket. Will you please detail and instruct the necessary parts for fitting to all future Wraith lll chassis in place of the existing welded on type of brackets.
