| -2- (7) The wheel size has been altered to 6 x 19", with a 4" rim. (8) The clutch pit and dashboard are in magnesium. (9) The rear road springs are specially adapted to the light body fitted. (10) A special bonnet and radiator cowl have been fitted to accommodate the special body. (11) Aluminium brake drums. It is possible that some detail may have been omitted with which you are familiar: if so I should be glad if you would let me know. Yours sincerely, Att: Leaflet giving chassis spec. List of spares to be carried. I left production to deliver your new chassis, giving them full instructions. For some reason not clear to me I understand they delivered it to Lillie Hall, where it will be first thing on Monday morning. Possibly they have been in touch with you. Ratcliffe tells me they have still another new chassis for you which has just come off test. I suppose this is in order as I have heard nothing about it. The bonnet sides will be at Offords early next week. | ||
