RE-LINING OF BENTLEY CLUTCHES. ---------------------------- Confirming our conversation re the above, at the present moment, to re-line the early type clutch, i.e. A.{Mr Adams} B. C. and D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} series, it costs approximately £8:0:0: including material. In the event of us fitting the Borg & Beck type of clutch it necessitates the engine and gear box being removed from the frame, the crank shaft dismantled from the engine, and the new type of first motion shaft fitting to the gear box, and the labour for doing this is approximately £16:0:0: In addition must be added the cost of material.
