We are pleased to see that the welding of this frame is now finished. To complete the job we would like this frame fitted with axles, steering gear and radiator. The front springs are to be standard. The front axle, rear axle, rear springs and steering will have to be transferred from 5-B-IV now in the garage. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std. has the radiator in the bump house. All these parts are available immediately. As explained before, the steering box will have to be raised on an alum. packing piece about 1" thick. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
