Re: BENTLEY REAR AXLE
CHASSIS B.60.GA - PARIS TRIALS CAR
-------------------------

With reference to our VAI4/ET.26.10.36, upon dismantling the original oil seals, we found them to be in perfect condition and there was no sign of any oil leakage past them.

The seals have been in service for 23.065 Kms.
