STEERING. X.4264

We have fitted up a bare chassis which is to go on
the bumping rig. On there we have "B" and "C" type steering
fixed to the solid dashboard. The thick dashboard makes all
the difference to the rigidity of the steering. With this
type of steering we certainly think no other stays are necessary.
