BENTLEY III BODY MOUNTINGS. We see that FCD.287 calls for Floatex body mountings on Bentley III. The Floatex body mountings as now fitted to Wraith cost £2.0.0d. more per chassis than the rubber body mounting used on Phantom III. We are hoping to discard Floatex mountings for Wraith, but in any case the increase in cost will prevent Floatex being used on Bentley III. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A.
