Coverley - Production Engineer} E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}3/HP.19.5.33. re Bensport Accelerator Pedal. The Experimental Shop have criticised the inaccessibility of the adjustable accelerator pedal, and we agree that it is somewhat difficult to get at. What we have done on LeC.3485, which we send you herewith is to make the hole in the dashboard larger, and also the hole in the dash bracket. We think we can dispense with the cover plate over the dashboard hole, as the bonnet covers this up. If it is possible we should like one of the cars converted to this scheme. E/JNR.{Charles L.
