Radiator - Chassis 6-B-IV.

The dashboard which has been fitted to this car in connection with the noise insulation scheme has no provision for a double tie rod from radiator to dash such as was used in the case of 5-B-IV.

However, this is an advantage as we find that the double tie rod causes radiator movement. 6-B-IV can therefore be fitted with a single tie rod as standard Bentley production.
