Re: Exhaust System 1.B.50. For fear that your attention may not have been called to the fact, wemention that it will be necessary to fit the exhaust silencer support at the front end of the rear springs E.CD.674, as the original design fouls the heelboard of the rear seat. The correct swan neck is E.CD.609 and we are not sure whether the body has been made to clear this, as the scheme as been done fairly recently and since the body was more or less completed.
