Coverley - Production Engineer}/Cy.9/LS.13.5.37, we can adopt the 25/30-HP type of joint to Bentley, and have shewn the necessary modification on LeC.5152. By modifying the boss centres on Phantom III and Wraith III pedal gap plates to suit this scheme, a common gas seal can be used for all cars and all pedals, including the accelerator, the only difference being in the size of the hole in the felt washer. We suggest that this should be done at once on Wraith III, and at the first convenient opportunity on Phantom III. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
