Rubber Mounted Petrol Pump for 25-30 and Phantom III. reference HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}6/JH.31.12.35. We send you herewith :- LeC.4990 showing a rubber mounting for the 25-30 petrol pump, as we are told that the noise from the pumps can be heard even when noise insulation is fitted to the dash. This scheme requires a new bracket. Also herewith LeC.4971 showing the same rubber base but fitted to Phantom III. This has the virtue over the old design inasmuch as the pump can be detached without disturbing the dashboard noise insulation. LeC's 4990 and 4971 herewith. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
