X.4264. Extract from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/LG13.10.21. 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. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
