On LeC-5768 herewith, we show the fixing for the rear shock damper of Bentley III. The damper is a standard Gordon Armstrong with hand control. The link has Silent Travel Bearings following the design already issued for test on Wraith III, and the bushes are proportionately load-on the two schemes. This scheme also shows the attachment of the road spring to the rear axle. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
