BENTLEY 50.
FRONT BUMPER.
Please receive herewith F.CD.1013 showing the Front Bumper and Brackets.
This bumper is generally similar to that used on B.111, but lengthened to suit the greater wing width. Bentley type of overrides are fitted.
The support bracket is a new piece, and a small modification to the front end of the frame is necessary to accommodate the new bracket to its best advantage.
Please instruct experimentally.
