'C' STEERING - P.2.

With reference to DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M10.10.30. the proposed new position of 'C' type column will, of course, require a new dash to suit the altered angle of the column, also the pendulum levers and brackets for fitting in the frame will require altering.

It may not be possible to introduce these alterations on the early chassis to be built in N.2 series, but we would see what could be done in this matter immediately a decision is made as to whether the position of this type of column is to be altered or not.
