12-EX CAR. X7940 <strikethrough>X7430</strikethrough>
We attach herewith a list of experimental pieces fitted to this car.
One point we should particularly like your views on and that is the vibrations felt on the steering wheel.
We recommend that you try the experiment of disconnecting the stay which supports the steering column to the cast dashboard. We are of the opinion that the rigidity of the cast dashboard causes the driver to feel more of the engine through the steering.
