CAST DASH G.2 SERIES - PHANTOM. ------------------------------- Amongst the proposals put forward as being likely to be adopted on G.2 series, and therefore for which we have held up temporarily until 12-EX is run, is the Cast Dash. We would like to know what is the position of Sales in regard the stock body for the Phantom chassis. If you are much ahead with body work for the time at which G.2 will commence, then it will mean that we will have to push back certain improvements which would include the cast dash, modified pedals and steering column to suit, and the engine would not be pushed forward.
