DASHBOARD. Please receive herewith a blueprint of the following scheme :- F.CD.1428 Heater and Road Tools on Dashboard. The above scheme shews the position of the Rolls-Royce Marsden heater on the Bentley 5 dashboard. It has been necessary to modify the positions of the speedo and rev. counter cables slightly, the oil pipe connection is also moved towards the centre line of the car. The dashboard drilling requires altering as soon as possible to suit these new positions. Please instruct. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
