-2- contd :- TANK. K.S. petrol gauge to be fitted as on 10-G-111 (i.e. with sump). REAR AXLE. 17/52 gear ratio - rear foot brake relined SIDE STEERING TUBE. 2000 lbs. springs to be fitted to this tube - (not yet available). When these modifications have been carried out, the car is to be tried on the road with and without tie rods to ascertain if these are necessary before starting the undershield. A number of lubrication points will be made inaccessible by the undershield, we wish as far as possible to couple these together into a single point lubrication scheme.
