We send you herewith:
LeC.3379 - showing the oil filler and the stay for supporting the exhaust pipe.
We also show the facing for the magneto bracket and although it is not used on the Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) it is a feature that makes it possible to use this crankcase casting on the 20/25 HP. production following Z. series, having the larger crankshaft and studded main bearings.
