F.2.B. SERIES CHASSIS.

On the Exhaust system of the F.2.B. Engine, the bolt and nut on the rear exhaust box securing the down pipe is in a very inaccessible position. It is not possible to tighten this up with the engine in a chassis with a standard spanner, and we are having to make the best of it by using a special claw spanner.

Probably this point has already been brought to your notice by the Works.
