DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} 666 DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}24/G.21.11.38. SILVER WRAITH - BODY BRACKETS. The Silver Wraith bodies are found to be too heavy for the "Silentbloc" Floatex mountings, which were designed for Bentley 111 at present fitted. Will you therefore please use the Silentbloc Floatex mounting FW.250, which we use on Wraith 111 for the above chassis in the intermediate body bracket and the rear body bracket. We should also like to reinstate the front body bracket 11.000 to the rear of the datum back of dash, shewn on F.CD.280 with Floatex mounting FW.250. Please instruct the Departments concerned.
