There is at the moment a scheme being detailed to LeC.4993, showing two filters mounted on the 2nd cross member, one for the main line and the other for the reserve. As soon as this scheme is to hand, will you please instruct for it to be fitted to 3-B-IV. The scheme is an intended conversion for customers' cars suffering from vapour lock, and we are therefore anxious to try it out as soon as possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
