| To By: trob Water Excluders. Will you please issue instructions to production to block up all holes in the brake drum plates of Bentley cars fitted with water excluders. This now includes the inner ring of holes. We are informed by the Repair Dept. that they have not observed any grease being ejected from these holes, and therefore we do not anticipate any trouble due to grease on the linings. On future cars we will endeavour to screen these holes or use an oil seal. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
