B-169-CW - DEX GARAGES.

We learn that Dex Garages have allocated this chassis to Mr. Richard Summers who wants a separate speedometer and a separate rev. counter instead of the instruments mounted in the patch.

We take it there is no great difficulty about this. How would you suggest illumination should be provided please?

He also asks to have the horns attached to the headlamp standards instead of on the cross bar, but we endeavouring to persuade him to accept the standard position.

But until you hear further from us please refrain from mounting them on the cross tube.
