'V' SERIES SHUTTER CONTROL. X8240

I have written elsewhere about the shutter control.

It seems an easy matter to make it like the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) carburetter control.

Can we not fix the position of the instrument board by our own brackets, like Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)), and other makes of chassis. There can be only one best position for the instrument board for each type of steering.
