Wraith Cars 25.G.V1. and 28.G.V1.

To avoid any misunderstanding regarding the relative suspensions of the above two cars, due to the change over of specifications, the requirements for the two cars are as follows:-

25.G.V1.
All shock dampers to be dismantled and sent to W.Bell for modification to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les's instructions.
Road springs to be fitted similar to those on 26.G.V1. subject to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les supplying the parts. If the latest springs are not available Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} will supply alternatives.

28.G.V1.
Fit rear springs Nos.34 and 35.
Fit front springs to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} instructions.
