We also note that you do not think it worth while to make the new top tank to suit the anti-splash type of filler. As long as you are happy that he is not likely to have this trouble again, this is quite in order. Presumably the best method would be for us to lend him a temporary radiator and then we can send his radiator to you for the matrix to be changed. I have asked him whether he will be able to make it convenient to call at Derby on his way down from Scotland. I will let you know as soon as I have some definite information. C. | ||
