Draper - Frames} //41 DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}9/G.10.3.39. BENTLEY 5, BENTLEY 50 and WRAITH 80. FLOORBOARDS. We wish to produce the pedal gap plate shewn on F.CD.615 in S/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} instead of aluminium. Will you please alter the gauge from 12 SWG. (.104) to 18 SWG. (.048). It will also be necessary to use cheese head screws instead of countersunk head screws for the gas tight seals. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
