Smith}' - TUBULAR CROSS MEMBERS X 7380 On making enquiries in the O.O. we find that they do not anticipate being able to deliver bent tubes and end forgings for the cross members for about four weeks. It is imperative that we should have our experimental cars running with these features before this date. Will you therefore please arrange to make 4 sets of the parts by hand.
