BENTLEY CLUTCH

We have in our possession a clutch driven disc made by the Borg & Beck Co. of America, and we wish to fit it to a Bentley. The hub will require shortening on the side remote from the cushion springs. The disc can be collected from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth. when you are ready for it.

We will tell you which car we want it fitting to later.
