Referring to the proposed stiffening of the Bentley side channels by adding 2" to their depth, we sent through a scheme, LeC.5054 shewing a method of bolting this additional depth on to an existing chassis for test purposes. We understand these pieces have been made, and will now be fitted to a car, so that a comparative result may be obtained before ordering new dies. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
