BENTLEY 5.
EXPERIMENTAL PRODUCTION CHASSIS.
CRANKCASE - CLUTCH CONE.

It has not yet been decided which gear box is to be fitted in B.5 chassis. In order that the crankcase will match the Wraith clutch cone, will you kindly bring the number and spacing of the retaining bolt into line with the clutch cone G.W.2202. The Bentley clutch cone should be brought into line.

The bosses for accelerator countershaft should be tapped as Wraith.

Will BY/CS, please arrange to release the drawings for 50 sets as soon as possible.
