| -cont'd- - 2 - EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}11/SW.16.3.41. We will send this information along as soon as available. It will be noticed that the left hand centre frame stiffener is not incorporated, as we have yet to fix the design of this to suit the exhaust system. The above drawings were detailed from the following schemes :- PL.393 Layout of Frame. PL.416 Cross in Frame. PL.424 1st. Crossmember. PL.425 2nd. Crossmember. PL.441 Front Gussets. PL.442 Dashboard Mounting. PL.446 R.H. Centre Gusset & Centre Pillar Body Bracket. PL.447 Modification to 2nd. Crossmember. PL.500 Rear Gusset & Wheelarch Body Bracket. PL.501 Front Stiffener & Front Body Bracket. We notice you have not received prints of PL.442, PL.500 and PL.501, we will forward you these without delay. We have sent you by road - 8 sheets of 15' x 2'8" x .056" (17 gauge) material from which to produce these parts. You will notice that these are detailed .064" gauge, but we believe you can easily use the .056" material without having the details altered. Yours faithfully, Chassis Design Office. | ||
