BY/3/G.22.3.37. BENTLEY CHASSIS. --------- Referring to the 10,000 mile test on 6-B-1V. dated 9th March 1937, in which attention is drawn to the fact that the anchorage bolts on the offside rear springs were found loose. In February 1935 we increased the size of these bolts from 5/16" to 3/8. From enquiry it would appear that 6-B-1V. has 5/16" bolts. The .375 bolt has been standard since February 1935 on production.
