Vulture Chassis 29-EX. -------------------- The following points need attention on this car - (1) Rocker shaft cover fouls Bijur tank on torque reaction. (2) Union at base of oil cleaner leaks. (3) Bonnet requires .125" clearance all round and at present fouls spare wheel carriers. (4) Coupling between engine and gearboxes "clonks" by moving backwards and forwards relatively to the gearbox. This movement should be impossible. (5) Front body floorboard fouls change speed gate. (6) Clutch pedal clearance in floorboard needs increasing. (7) Modification to petrol tank vent While rectifying these points will you please also alter the backward pivot lean to 1 1/2° - 1/4°. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.{Arthur M.
