re Bentley Ignition Distributor.
Next 10,000 miles Car.
Owing to the rapid wear developing between the distributor tower and base, we should like the above car to be modified and fitted with a bronze bush.
The drawing Nos. are:
D.52762.
D.52763.
These pieces have already been used on several units with some success.
We are working at a further improvement to this part which is of a less temporary measure.
