We send herewith LeC 4963 of the modifications necessary to the exhaust system. The silencer is moved back 8" and the intermediate pipe is lengthened 8", lagging being increased accordingly. The intermediate pipe and its lagging are the only modified pieces in the exhaust system. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Att: LeC 4963. | ||
