PETROL TANK. When fitting the petrol filler in the rear wing on Wraith bodies, the length of pipe between the sylphon tubes is found to be too short. The coachbuilders like the Phantom III length of intermediate tube, which is 7.500. Will you therefore please arrange for the Ph.lll tube F.88638 to be called for on the LOP. as an alternative at the coachbuilders request when required. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
