STEERING COLUMN. scheme :- Please receive herewith the following F.CD.900 Steering Column Support ('F' Type). The above scheme shews distance links between the steering column support bracket on the column and the support bracket on the dashboard, in order that the 'E' type support bracket FW.576 can be used for 'F' type steering. The pedal gap plate has sufficient adjustment to allow this. The angular position of the pendulum lever will require altering to suit the new position of the steering column. The above scheme has been produced at Sr's request to suit French coachwork, where road visibility regulations are not in force. If a quantity of this type of steering (which is 2.000 lower than 'E' type) was required, we should produce new steering column brackets as alternatively shewn. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
