| BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /NS. {Norman Scott} c. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} ------- 200B DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 11/G.17.12.37. File BENTLEY 111 - REVISED REAR ENGINE SUPPORT BRACKETS TO SUIT MODIFIED CHASSIS FRAME. 422. Please receive herewith E.CD.298 Rear Engine Support Brackets (Dropped Frame) Bentley 111. This design replaces the previous one issued to suit the original chassis frame to E.CD.121. Some of the parts are the same as used on E.CD.121. The brackets are detachable from the chassis frame, as it is very difficult to assemble the engine in chassis with the brackets in position. The bracket has been shaped to clear the accelerator control rod, and also the starter motor housing, allowing for engine movement, and using the same bracket on both sides of engine. Will you please detail and instruct the necessary parts as soon as possible. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
