Will you also supply two pairs of mixture control levers, suitably bent to clear the float chamber "holding up" bolt, when placed in the same position as the controls on the 4 1/4 litre Bentley. You will remember supplying similar levers a few weeks ago. I am sending an official order to cover these parts. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
