| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 4655 3 a (3) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}3/KW.16.10.34. Petrol System for 5-B-IV - 10,000 miles. We wish to fit a SpectreCodename for Phantom III type Fuel Pump, Filter and Tap to the above chassis, using standard Bentley petrol piping. It will therefore be necessary for special adapters to be made. The delivery side of the Pump will require a modification as shown in the attached sketch to enable a direct feed from pump to carbs. A packing is necessary under the base of the pump as the angle of the SpectreCodename for Phantom III Dashboard differs from that of the Bentley. Will you please arrange for this work to be carried out. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
