Re 38-EX Petrol Tank. We understand that this chassis has been fitted with the standard petrol tank whereas it should have been fitted with a tank having the petrol filler connection moved forward as shown on LeC.4981 instructed on the 7th. February. We would be glad if you would arrange to supply and fit the proper tank to the chassis. At the same time we have asked Messrs.Park Ward & Co. to remove the standard tank and to go ahead with the completion of the body. [Signature] Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
