X4555 With reference to the question of providing a countershaft for the dipping head light control with the rubber engine suspension, we send herewith N. scheme 2525., shewing what we suggest should be done. The bell crank on the dashboard is elongated so as to bring the vertical control rod nearer the steering column, shortening up the rod on the engine foot, otherwise the pieces to be as already instructed. If the special engine foot is a difficulty in fitting these dipping lights to existing cars, we can provide you with a means of getting the inner bearing by bolting on a bracket on to the engine foot.
