We now propose to fit these pistons complete with their liners to the engine of 34-EX, the Brown Limousine Trials Car which is being brought up to date.

It is proposed that the next move with the Experimental engine is to run a set of longer liners "gashed" to facilitate assembly, with a set of pistons ground to standard dimensions inconjunction with a set of Marine type rods.
