Further to the suggestions regarding the spotwelding of the Wraith Petrol Tank Straps, the position has now been queried from the stock angle, and it is found that the straps for "C" Series have been punched and are ready for riveting. In view of this, it would not appear practical to introduce the spotwelded straps on "C" series Wraith. The value of the punched straps and shoes in stock amounts to some £37.0.0d. RHC{R. H.
