| -4- R10/IB271014. Contd. and not very practical from any point of view. Think how we skimp the weight down in our parts, even vital parts, and they go and slump a lump on like this. You will notice that the magnet is secured in the heavy box by a single slotted nut. The screws to hold the box to the dash hardly seem practical. This fitting has not altered my opinion very much of the C.A.V. people, and for them to be proud of the fitting rather confirms my views. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
