Re: P.III Bodies with Demountable Tops. -------------------- We suggest that you send to each coachbuilder a typewritten slip as given below which you ask him to paste on to the end of the chapter dealing with the mounting of bodies with demountable tops, which is the end of page eleven. "Subsequent to the experiments described above further research has been carried out. It is now established that a further improvement in scuttle rigidity can be achieved with no disadvantages if the mounting of the body on the two body brackets immediately behind the dash be made solid. These are the brackets 'B' and 'C' on sheet 6. The rubber packing should be replaced by a block of aluminium". De/Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
