| 87005 To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} c. to Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}6/MJ.25.6.31. DIAMOND ENGINE MOUNTING. X.7005. X.7600. We have not yet received a design for the side spare wheel carrier stay to the dashboard for use on cars with the over-hanging bonnet. This is needed urgently as both Diamond engine mounting and the over-hanging bonnet are now on production. It is necessary to use a stay to the side spare wheel carriers when diamond engine mounting is adopted. Will you please give this your earliest attention.
