A Phantom 2 dynamo is fitted and driven at engine speed.

The standby magneto is deleted altogether, and there is a new position for the oil filler at a suitable distance away from the exhaust downtake pipe.

We also send you LeC.3375 showing the machining for the dynamo cradle on a crankcase, which is common to both Bensport(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) and 20/25 HP.
