3.500 BORE BENTLEY.

Part of our development of a new induction system for the above concerns getting the system under the bonnet.

We hand you one pair of S.U. carburetters (Brass). Will you please reduce the length of the bodies of these carburetters by .500" by cutting a section out of the throttle bore and brazing the two halves together again.
