The main outstanding modifications which we are
hoping to fit on the Peregrine car which goes to France at
the end of the month are :-

Engine Unit.
(1) Turbulent head to LeC.3222.
(2) New Cam forms.
(3) Clutch of the Borg & Beck type.

Chassis.
(1) Stronger back axle bevels.
(2) Latest type shock absorbers aluminium
case J.3 type.
(3) Wider area brake drums.

We are rather concerned at the position of the
new dampers because, although we have been doing a lot
of experimental work on our testing rig, we have not as
yet had any pieces to try on the road.

The time is getting rather short and we think
that we should make an effort to get a set running on
Peregrine without delay.

So far we are very satisfied with the engine
mounting which you fitted to the second Peregrine.
