F.DODD. WIDE FRAME - 25/30 CHASSIS. Referring to Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/AH.20.5.38. we have gone further into this question and examined the actual details. We can in fact only gain .082 before exposing the flange of the Flotex bush. We suggest that this is not worth the expense of milling the body bracket. In future we can modify the drilling of the bracket and gain the .380 asked for. This will apply to after 200 cars, the first 200 being all drilled. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} Noted.
