| X1166 To EY. from Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} SECRET. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/HP.14.6.35. c. W.O'R.E.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hde. RWC. SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Front D.W.S. Jacks. Herewith is N.Sch.4535 which shows the D.W.S. "long range" screw jack attached to the front of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III car. As the jack is much longer than the standard Phantom size it is necessary to carry it out some distance from the suspension cross member, calling for a 7/16" bolt for attachment to the crossmember. This requires a new aluminium distance piece inside the cross member, but does not present any difficulty in fitting to an existing car. N.Sch.4535 herewith. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
