BENSPORT (J.1.) REAR ENGINE SUSPENSION.
Herewith we send S. sch. 3502, shewing the engine suspension at the rear of the clutch pit.
It will be seen that 2 alternatives are shewn, the one consisting of a ferodo ring similar to the sch. now used, and the other a suggestion for a rubber ring, which it is intended should be utilised if found to be any advantage.
