BENTLEY III & 50 REBOUND FRONT BUFFERS. The only buffers that stand up on the Bump test are similar to Gw.2042 but in 45 durometer hardness. We are requesting these in a memo. dealing with the whole of the suspension but we would like them adding to the LOP. straight away so that HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} will automatically obtain supplies for new cars. The drawings will want the fixings slightly altering. Will HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} please fit a pair to 8.B.5. and 1.B.50 supplied by us.
