Re: COACHBUILDERS DRAWINGS

Re your note R14/P311013
The difference in the width of the wire wheels over the hubs at rear & front is due to the lean of the front wheels, which cause the front hubs to spread, but the amount is only 3/4". I feel sure the 2" quoted is an error.
We now show the full width of splasher required.
Only a few old coachbuilders' drawings show the brake lever half way, & these we alter.
All new ones show it full off
