PEREGRINE INDUCTION SYSTEMS.

Will you please carry out the following modifications to Peregrine Induction Systems.

(1) Twin S.U. Pipes.
We would like a Balance Piece to attached sketch fitting between the two halves of the Induction Pipe. For this it will be necessary to make the job detachable as we might have to alter the size of the balance passage.

The pocket in the Induction Pipes opposite the branches to the carburetters we would like filled in, this can be done with lead as we do not think it will melt with exhaust heat, if it does we will get the Laboratory to make up an alloy that will not.

Whilst these modifications are being carried out will you please make as good a job as possible of the throttle valves and throttle spindles.

(2) Pipe to M.2.3371.
We would like this pipe modified so that the centre branches are made square to the pipe and at the same time cutting away the hotspot so that no heat is applied to the top of the pipe.

(3) Will you also make a throttle body to attached sketch 7.152). We would like this made in brass as we may have to cut it away a little.

HC/T.Matthews.
