| x264 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.8/JH.7.2.36. Bentley B-56-BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Before this car goes to France the lower stressed low rating (Firths No. 174) will need to be fitted. The springs are in our garage stores. The rear springs have no spring clips as they have been made suitable for the Packard and Buick type metal spring gaiters. Will you please therefore make some similar metal gaiters for these springs. The rust preventive finish on the Packard springs appears to be satisfactory. The attached Photo. is of the Packard gaiter. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
