WRAITH III. 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.
