F.J.H. Bumper Sling for Bentley Cars without Drop Front Cross Member. We have been asked to produce a scheme for providing a bumper sling suitable for fitting to existing cars which have not a drop front cross member. On LeC 5096, herewith, we show such a scheme, which is in principle the same as the scheme we have already sent to you for cars having the drop front cross member, except that the 'U' bolt is lengthened, and also the distance piece.
