(5) Front and rear bumper and jack brackets should be fitted, as the body is to be designed to permit of these. (6) We wish you to supply a standard starting handle, and we will arrange with M.Paulin to cut and weld it to make it the right length. The correct handle can then be made when the car returns to England. (7) We wish you to supply a front bumper only, M.Paulin will supply the one for the rear. (8) We wish you to supply a kit of tools complete, including the hydraulic jack if possible. We will ask M.Paulin if he can house the road tools and jack anywhere in the body, but if not, they will have to be under the bonnet and fitted by ourselves when the car returns. (9) The final wheels for this car will be the 'bolt on' type, and no side spare wheel carrier is required. (10) No front apron will be needed. (11) We have ascertained that it is intended to fit a standard air silencer to the induction system and this should therefore be in position on the dummy chassis. (12) No seapack need be fitted to the dashboard. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
