8. The transverse scuttle isolation pads have not been made or fitted yet. V hand F.58977
9. The tank vent as fitted is not correct.
10. The Side brake lever fouls the scuttle ventilator. We suggest that a stop be placed in the quadrant to prevent the lever going so far forward, on this car only, and that the lever on the ventilator on future cars will be moved.
11. The exhaust pipe shield over the swan-neck has not yet been fitted. DO N.Sch. ? 3440 F.58978/9
12. Care should be taken to see that the vertical scuttle rails of the body are cut away as on our N. Sch.3438, called "Scuttle Isolation" to clear the foot and accelerator pedal.
