Perfect Oil Seals for Bentley Rear Axle. ------------------------------------- We understand that the Seals so far supplied are in one case about .008" undersize, and in the case of seals for the hubs, about .008" oversize. We have rung up the manufacturers, who have promised to send off at the latest to-morrow morning a dozen of each of these seals made accurately to the drawing dimensions. If we return the ones we have that have not been used for test purposes, they will credit us with them. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
