| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X/138 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}10/KW.19.9.35. Petrol Filter - SpectreCodename for Phantom III 2-S-I. We wish to run the above car on the next 10,000 miles with the petrol filter fitted to the cross member immediately in front of the petrol tank. We suggest that it is fitted on the offside of the member 7.00" from the centre. This is to avoid being fouled by the rear axle on max. bump. The pipe line from the filter to the petrol pump can be run on the inside of the frame. Will you please have this scheme carried out. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring} | ||
