X 7250 / X 7430 If this is used in connection with the lowest raked steering E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} position, it does definitely reduce the drivers vision for objects close in front. We have tried this. The view from the present sports car with low [strikethrough]seating[/strikethrough] position for E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} column is none too good for traffic driving. We agree that it will improve the appearance. It might be worth while making the alteration and make E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} column to suit the higher radiator.
