Please receive herewith PD.8 Side Spare Wheel Carrier for Bentley 111. The design of this follows closely that already tested on Bentley 11 with modifications which have been found desirable as a result of that test. To save weight it is proposed to reduce the gauges all over the component. The aluminium distance pieces are replaced by steel distance tubes, welded in. This design can be detailed at once.
