Support for Side Spare Wheel Carriers. 18-G4. has both external and internal stays fitted. We realize the exterior is more efficient, but is unsatisfactory for closing the bonnet and impossible for extended bonnets. We are therefore more interested in the internal scheme. We have fitted this up on the 25 HP. Bumper Chassis and find it surprisingly good. We should therefore be very interested in your comments on this scheme. Ha/I.A.-eslie. | ||
