| S/W. To Hives from CWB. X4199 1896 CWB8/DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}1-9-24. I understand from Henning that 48-PK is now delivered to the Works for repair. Will it be possible for you to replace the existing steering wheel with one of the new pattern wheels, which I understand are 2 or 3 inches more in diameter and of a slightly smaller rim section. If this can be done it would be a great advantage for the tests which still have to be made with this Car. Please therefore if possible make this alteration. CWB CWB 1. 9. 24. | ||
