The open car which was in London last week end had a compression ratio of 7.3. We want if necessary to have a head which we can get up to 8/1. (13) Oil leaks from Rear Axle. We wish to test out a modification to reduce the risk of this. (14) Radiator Design. If there is a new scheme of radiator design available it is to be fitted on to this car.
