Hallam - Head Repairs}/EAG. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}1/14.12.40. 727 FRAME - MYTH. We attach to Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/HH's copy the original of PL.435 Front Bumper and Fog Lamp Brackets. The above scheme has been produced at Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/EAG's request, in order that the front end of the model can be completed. The front bumper is carried by a sheet metal bracket attached to the underside of the frame side channels, sandwiched between the bumper bar and the bumper bracket is provided a bracket to carry the pass lamp. If it is decided to adopt this type of bumper bracket on the final design, the mounting of the front roll rod will have to be considered at the same time. With a bumper bracket of this type it is necessary to go to side jacking. For the model the shape and position of the Front Bumper should be taken from PL.347. The Bumper section and the shape of the over-riders is the same as the Rear Bumpers see PL.432. Will Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/HH. please note this is a model maker's design only, no detailing is therefore required. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} Original to Hm{Capt. W.
