Re: Bentley Chassis. ----------------- For future design the rear front shackle pin requires turning round so that the pin can be withdrawn from the inside of the frame. Impossible at present without removing wing, and often running board. The front spring shackles cannot be got at due to the coachbuilders building the wing round the shackles. This requires looking into. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
