(7) FAN ADJUSTMENT
Belt removal and adjustment present no difficulty.

(8) CLUTCH
Clutch as fitted to SpectreCodename for Phantom III No.1. is rather inaccessible and difficult to dismantle, but the re-designed Clutch with Single Plate seems much better in these respects. This can be confirmed after fitting to SpectreCodename for Phantom III No. 2.

(9) STARTER MOTOR
Exhaust downtake pipe must be detached before removing Starter Motor.

It would be an advantage if stops were provided to take engine weight when Rear Suspension is removed for clutch attention etc.
