With reference to stays for the worm axle, it seems as though we shall have to forego these, as it will delay the car too much.

The bolts on the back axle tube should, however, be watched, and if they show signs of any stretching, the car should be returned to the Works, and have these stays fitted.

You have not, however, got them quite as I desired.
They should go between the centre of the tubes, somewhat as shown on the enclosed sketch, which might be recorded on the drawing, in case the work has to be gone into again.
