Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1155 Wraith 111 - Change Gear Mechanism in B.5. Chassis. The above scheme shews the Wraith change gear mechanism adapted to fit the B.5 frame when the Wraith gearbox is fitted in a B.5 chassis. We have also shewn the reverse light switch fitted to the change gear gate, similar to how the Wraith is done at present. Please instruct experimentally, DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
