With reference to HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 1/LG21628., DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} /EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} discussed this matter with the Sales conference, and it was agreed that we should accept the reduction of ½" between the dashboard and the steering wheel on the 'E' steering to be fitted up on 12-EX. The wheel to squab dimension will now be 15½" instead of 15".
