Borg & Beck Clutches - Bentley.

We shall be using clutches to Ex.18198 on all future large bore units. We have now used all our supply of flywheels. Will you please put some more in hand.

On those cars that have not got cantilever pedals will you please fit a trunnion lever in place of GB.1496 of 3.00 CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}, which we will call Ms.2081, as the present lever does not give enough clearance.
