Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 31st, enclosing a blueprint of the steering you are making for us. We find this will go in the chassis without trouble. We should, however, like the bore of the column to be .90" as this is the minimum that will pass our controls. One other point we notice is that you have used an outer tube of less than 2.00" diameter. Would it be possible for this to be 2.0" so as to be as rigid as our own and fit the same brackets. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
