| 1375 To Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 9/JH.18.12.39. The 16" x 4" rims for Rippletto have arrived. Will you please check up that their inside diameter is such that they will fit on the normal B.V. Wheel centre. If this is the case we have to send 5 wheels to Dunlops together with the new Sankey rims and they will fit the rims to the centres to give an outer centre point of .275 less then now.
