Steering Column Seal on Dash. Left Hand Senior Range. Column Control Gearshift. On PL.230 we show a design of gastight seal for the steering column on the dash for cars of the Senior Range with L.H. Drive and Column Gear shift. The same pieces can be used on the R.H. models and the arrangement will have to be shown when setting out the gearshift and engine control for these cars. The same pieces are also used for both column angles, the base of the rubber being sheared to suit. It has been necessary to modify the throttle control countershaft on the dash as shewn. 1 copy Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1 print PL.230 for Ashby.
