The floorboards were comfortably cool but there was a serious blast of hot air through the pedal gaps and I noticed in looking through these holes that there was a large gap in the undershield on the off side and apparently this blast of hot air was simply the hot air which was being delivered out of the louvred engine guards. May I suggest that all experimental cars should have the various schemes efficiently fitted up in order that we may not be led to wrong conclusions. Mercedes type Tappets. These cannot be observed without taking them down. | ||
