| Copy. My's Dept. My is absent. Rb{R. Bowen}4/N/57A/BJ.4.3.27. To BY from Rb.{R. Bowen} ----------------- Phantom Combined Luggage Grid & Spare Wheel Carrier at the Rear of Chassis. Arrgt.No.F.76225. BY14/H.25.2.27. ----------------- 1. We estimate that the increased factory cost per chassis, if the extension pieces and Gussets and cross tube, registration plate with all fittings, to enable the spare wheel carrier and luggage grid to be fitted at the Coachbuilders is £5-16-0 per chassis allowing full credit for all parts superseded. 2. The estimated factory cost of the Luggage Grid to LOP. F.76225 is £6-1-8 per grid. 3. The estimated factory cost of the Spare Wheel Carrier is £3-11-0 per carrier. Re item 1 above, the Brackets for the existing Luggage Grid which are fitted when frame building, are taken into consideration in the figure of £5-16-0. This was not accounted for in the prices given on standardization sheet 3400/8600 dated 24.12.26. Nothing is included for any labour which may be incurred if the Wheel Carrier and Grid are not fitted. Rb.{R. Bowen} ENCLOSURE No 797 "JUSTSO" | ||
