Re: LEAD BRONZE BEARINGS FOR BENTLEYS
At what mileage do you suggest that we fit new lead bronze bearings to our trials cars?
B.I.CW has not yet been put into service and the other car (B.5.AE) has only run 4000 Kms. since we fitted new standard bearings.
Will you please let us have your remarks on this.
