Sec.6035. Speedo Drive & Damper Pump.

Fit Ripplet complete.

Sec.6040. 1st & 3rd Motion Shafts.

Fit Ripplet complete except for propellor shaft coupling as mentioned in Sec.6030. Also new key and button for 3rd & 4th synchromesh RG.{Mr Rowledge}2138 and RG.{Mr Rowledge}2139.

Sec.6045. Servo Drive.

Fit B.V. Servo Drive complete, i.e., The Drive for use from 13th in A onwards. This is necessary in all cases because the Ripplet gearbox servo facing, will not accommodate the earlier type of servo.

Sec.6050. 2nd Motion Shaft.

Fit Ripplet complete.

Sec.6070. Reverse Shaft.

Fit Ripplet complete.

Sec.6080. Change Gear Mechanism.

Ripplet complete. Note that the existing Bentley V change gear may be used, but requires the Ripplet gate and selector lever.

Sec.6180. Servo motor and Mech.

Bentley V.{VIENNA} complete. i.e., The Servo used from 13th in A onwards. The earlier types cannot be used. (See Section 6045).

Sec.5240. Engine Controls.

Use Ripplet Damper control counter shaft. This is due to the .300 wider gearbox. The rod from C'shaft to Damper Pump will also vary in length but we may get away with the existing rod as length varies but little.

Sec.7000. Frame & Fittings.

New holes are required due to the new sideways position of the tie-rod. Use Bentley V Rear Engine mounting pieces as already fitted to the car.
