PHANTOM - HIGHER RADIATOR, BONNET AND DASH. --------------------------------------------- With reference to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}5/7.5.28. we send you herewith print of N. Sch. 2595 on which we have indicated in red the outline of the radiator, bonnet and dash if the new proposals are to be applied to G.2B series when we introduce the cast dash. We are producing new detail drawings for the higher radiator, bonnet and dash, as represented by the red lines, but it will be necessary to have a special chassis for these parts to be fitted as Sales will not be able to allocate a suitable one from present production. It is suggested, since it is proposed to re-build Sports Chassis 15-EX, that the new bonnet etc. be fitted to this chassis to enable Sales to see the effect of the alteration. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
