Any info on type-48 shells

[SebringRS]

Just found out that the shell my dads V8 escy one has, is a type-48 shell

 

I know its only partially strengthened, and from what i can see is just the strut tops and chassis possibly??

 

 

Just wondered, is there anything different on these?? 'Cus i read the description of the Sebring red shell on ebay at the mo, and it said that the fillers different and also something else

 

 

So yeah is there anything else thats different And also, what other parts are strengthened??

Type48 shell = Standard non AVO shell.

Type48 export shell = as above but with a couple of the strengthening points of an AVO shell. I'm told one of my shells is one of these (a very early 1968 one) & it has the double skinned foward rear spring hangers.

Type49 shell = AVO shell

 

I believe Mk2 Export shells had ALL of the RS strengthening kit..
