| S/W (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}) +8900 CWB4/LH{Mr Haworth}31.10.25. REFERENCE 10,000 MILES CHASSIS FOR SALES TEST. I have had the Weymann body, which it is proposed to fit to this chassis, examined with respect to Print No. G.73775; position of gear change and hand brake levers. It appears that the hand brake lever will foul the side of the scuttle if less than 13 to 13½" from the dash in the off position. The point of measurement is the top of the brake lever handle. Will you please advise me if you can bend the brake lever so as to comply with these requirements. CWB. | ||
