| To REC. 1520 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bmg.28/KW.3.10.34. 21-G-IV. We wish to have the Autovac removed from the above car and have S.U. Fuel Pumps fitted. There seems only one available spot for these pumps, this being between the Bijur pump and distribution box, mounted on a suitable bracket. A special banjo connection will be necessary from the delivery side of the pump. A standard Bentley filter can be fitted to the extreme o/s. of the dash, as per G.W.H's scheme on 4-B-IV. We want to incorporate the SpectreCodename for Phantom III petrol tap with this scheme, and have same fitted similarly as on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III, it will therefore be necessary to change the main pipe lines over from the n/s. to the o/s. of the chassis.
