| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Copy to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BACKING LIGHT SWITCH. With reference to the report of the 10,000 mile car after 6,000 miles (24-EX.) would you please say whether you consider the leaking from the backing light switch is a matter of design, or of the fitting. Do you wish us for instance to provide some more bolts? As far as we can see it looks as though two bolts should be sufficient. We can see that it is possible to stiffen up the base somewhat if that would cure the trouble. For instance we might lengthen the bosses to the face of the casting.
