BENTLEY 5. STEERING COLUMN. Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1341 Mod. to Steering Column Box Mounting. Further to memo Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 6/G.18.4.39. in which we increased the steering box studs from .250 to .3125 dia, we wish to increase the length of the support bracket bolts to provide more elasticity. On the above scheme we therefore shew distance pieces added to the three bolts to provide a greater length. Please instruct experimentally. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
