I am in receipt of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}10/JH.30.9.38 and note the modifications carried out.
The new filler cap in Bakelite is, I think a great improvement on what was on originally.
With regard to the timing gear rattle would you please let me know when the parts are ready and whether you would be satisfied to let them be fitted by N. or xxx prefer to have the car at Derby.
