Wraith II Petrol Tank.

On LeC.5165, sheet 2, we show the fixing for the clip steadying the vent pipe to the top of the tank close to its near side end behind, the vent pipe.

On setting out the coachwork for a touring limousine we find that in this position the fixing screw is inaccessible, and we would be glad if you would arrange to place this in front of the vent pipe where it will be suitable for all types of coachwork.

It will be appreciated that in order to drop the tank the vent pipe on the tank has to be removed as the straps holding the tank pass between the pipe and the tank body.
