Points on which development work has been largely completed and which could with advantage be run if designs were available are :-

(1) Halford tappets, non return oil valve and filter.

(2) Rubber engine mount as on 20/25 with Cantilever pedals etc.

(3) Stiffened frame side channels to prevent head lamps jellying.

(4) Textolite timing gears.

(5) Front road springs shackled at the rear, to eliminate front springs buckling and sponge in the mechanism.
