Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}2/JMS.3.7.40. RE: BENTLEY CHASSIS 8.B.V. In reply to your memo BR/C.30/G.24.6.40, we are today despatching under separate cover, a set of parts to replace those you borrowed from a new B.V. chassis and fitted to 8.B.V. car. It is difficult at the present time to obtain completely finished production parts, and the Change Gear lever GB.4939 will require some work by you to finish it off. We hope that, with the parts you have ex 8.B.V. plus the parts we are sending, you will be able to complete your production chassis. The list of parts despatched is as follows: GB.4939 Change Gear Lever 1 GB.4938 Shaft 1 GB.3647 Spherical Bearing 1 GB.3643 Cover 1 GB.4129 Bearing 1 GB.3644 Spherical Bearing 1 GB.5129 Selector Lever 1 GB.4941 Change speed Gate 1 GB.5117 Set screw 1 GB.4133 Selector shaft 1 bearing 1 GB.1273 Spring Ring 1 Thanking you for the trouble taken in getting our car on the road again.
