GENERAL REMARKS.

We suggest that one way to put the case to the customer is to say -

"Whenever possible it is to the advantage of the customer to carry wheels at the rear to enhance the suspension. However if a luggage carrier is necessary then the wheel or wheels have to be carried at the side. On short, light, bodies we strongly recommend that the wheels be carried at the rear."
