| CJ. from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 7817 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG26.1.24. HEAT UNDER FLOORBOARDS With reference to your CJ /E24.1.24. We anticipate the standardisation sheet will be through in approximately a month. Both in the Expl: Dept: and the D.O. this job has been held up in order to carry out your instructions on other important work. We still have in mind that this work will be carried out at the same time as the 4-wheel brakes are fitted to the cars. It is practically impossible to bring it in before because one of the biggest factors in reducing the heat is to stop up all the slots in the floorboards for the pedals. When 4-wheel brakes are fitted we shall fit entirely new pedals which allows us to do this without any loss of movement. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
