Please receive herewith E.CD.244 Top Water Pipe - Bentley 111. In order to make the hose as long as possible to allow for relative movement between engine and radiator when using high engine mounting, we have modified the inlet bend to radiator from that shown on FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}18, also the thermostat cover is fixed to casing by set screws to avoid leaving room on its snout to slide the hose off the top connection, as the hose will now be removed along with the thermostat cover. Will you please detail and instruct the necessary parts for the experiment. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
