DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}10/G.11.5.39. GRY{Shadwell Grylls} AFM{Anthony F. Martindale} BENTLEY 5. REAR SPRINGS. Will you please arrange to use the rubber pads between the spring and the spring suspension bracket and spring pad that we used with the semi-floating rear axle FB.3045/6 instead of FB.3882/3. We already have dies for these, and as they are only slightly shorter there is no reason why they should not be used. The metal shields for use with the above rubbers is FB.3882 and FB.3896, which have already been ordered. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
