With reference to the modified clutch cover which we detailed and instructed experimentally recently, and which is intended to overcome the trouble due to the clutch pedal coming up against the floorboards, we would like to know if you are in a position to standardise same. The Works are raising this question at the present moment, as they do not wish to carry on machining the forgings in two stages any longer than necessary. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
