Jenner}1/HP.13.7.33. re Bentley Dashboard. The rubber beading on the edge of the dashboard does not remain nicely in position because of the inadequate amount of rubber in the section, and also due to the inequalities of the dashboard thickness. We think the best way to deal with this is as shown on LeC.3567 herewith, in which we use a number of clips. Will you please fit up one of your dashboards to this design. At the bottom of the dashboard there is very little room for any clips, and this one on existing castings must be treated differently to the others. The drawing shows how this can be done.
