WRAITH CAR 25.G.VI.

We are sending the above car into the fitting shop for the following jobs :-

(1) Refit original rear road springs.
(2) Fit Thermoid clutch lining.
(3) Fit raised front engine mounting taken off 26.G.VI.
(4) Fit front suspension with rubber isolation pieces to LcD.3114. All the parts for this job have been made and I believe were once fitted up on the bump chassis.
(5) Modify holes in cruciform to ECD.238 to clear exhaust system.
(6) Fit H.P. petrol pump in frame to PUD.11.
(7) Fit exhaust suspension to ECD.200 bottom scheme shown on drawing.
(8) Give more clearance to brake rods from servo where fouling.
(9) Examine front bearing of gearbox for cause of oil leak. The fitting of a vent hole in the box has not completely cured the oil leak. Please note that the gearbox oil has Prussian Blue in it to distinguish same from Engine Oil.
