BENTLEY III STEERING.

We wish to try front axle pivots with the ball type lower bearings to SCD.505. These parts are already made and can be fitted to the old type stub axles and yokes that were previously on 7.B.V.

Will you please build up the yokes with the ball bearings so that they can be fitted to 7.B.V.
