| DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5260 BY/Cghl/G.5.10.28. 20 HP. CHASSIS - MODIFIED BONNET & DASH. With reference to N. Sch. 2724 showing the above, we find that you have shown the bonnet to be 4 1/4" longer than standard, therefore if we work to the dimensions specified you will not get the slope on the bonnet which you are expecting. This work is now held up until we hear further from you. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
