Bentley Chassis : Propeller Shaft Damper. Sales Department now advise us that they have heard from Park Ward and one or two other coachbuilders that the propeller shaft damper will not cause any difficulty with the cross bars of the coachwork, and although they are waiting to hear from another firm of coachbuilders, it is considered that we should be quite safe in going ahead and fitting these dampers on production chassis as soon as possible. Will you please let us know the number of the first chassis on which the dampers will be fitted. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
