V3908 78320 Both on the Phantom and on the 20 HP. cars we are now entirely free from leakages in the floorboards at the pedal slots, steering column and cutout. On the latest 20 HP. car with the 4-speed box and right hand change, there is^no means to prevent fumes coming up through the change speed lever gate. On several cars we have found this to be most objectionable. We think it is necessary to do something at once. This also applies to the modified change speed mechanism on the Phantom which is used in conjunction with the subframe. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
