Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}28/N.27.6.39. Re: Bumpers. We are anxious to make some designs of new bumpers, of a more elegant design, but realise that for reasons of cost, we must use an existing section. We would be glad therefore if you would obtain for us drawings of a number of available sections from various sources. We would also like to know what is the cost of obtaining rolls for a new section, and what would be the die cost for a bumper with pressed face? Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} noted ED{J. L.
