X/250.
You will remember that the original radiator for EAC. 8. had taper sides and top tank to conform with the slope of the bonnet. Is this radiator still in existence, and could it be rigged up on a car? Possibly it will not be as high as the present radiator, but that might be overcome just as a temporary expedient to enable it to be looked at by packing up so that it would suit a standard bonnet and radiator. If this can be done without much trouble we believe Sales would like to have an opportunity of looking at it.
