Bill Simpson arrived with a prototype exhaust for the car
Work continued on fixing the snags revealed during preparations for Orroland, then in the 2nd week of August, Bill Simpson arrived with a prototype exhaust for the car, returning a couple of days later after having tweaked some of the compound curves to clear the engine crankcase and to leave space to fit the steering column bottom journal. This then allowed the donor Model T Ford steering column to be offered up for alignment through the engine firewall down to the steering rack, and at the rear end work started on the rear brake actuation controls.
