Brake Drums for the Bentley. -------------------------------------- We wish to try a set of 14" dia. brake drums of light section on a Bentley car. Will you please make one set to the attached drawings as soon as possible. The material used should be our standard brake drum material. These drums, with their special hub plates, should be interchangeable with the 14" dia. drums you have already made. Please note that Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1805 is not the same as the sketch you have in your possession, which should be destroyed to avoid confusion. Drawings of the hub plates will be made as soon as possible. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
