WRAITH III. FRONT SUSPENSION.

scheme :- Please receive herewith the following

F.CD.458 Anti-Roll Rod Bracket with Modified Bump Buffer Carrier Plate.

The above scheme shews a simple bracket for the front anti-roll rod connecting link in place of the rather elaborate one on the first scheme, which was designed to fit an existing car.

The bump buffer mounting has also been altered to simplify the machining of the lower triangle levers, and Humber type rubber buffers are shewn to obtain more rubber and assist in curing the complaints mentioned by Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}
