Re: 3 1/2 Litre Bentley - Radiator Side Steady Brackets. With the centrally mounted radiator to LeC.3470, the wear on the side of the elongated hole in the brackets FB.498 has been so excessive that Mr Bailey wishes you to alter this hole to .625 diameter. Will you please send this alteration to the Experimental Dept. as soon as possible so that the increased clearance will be available on the 10,000 miles trial car. To prevent breaking of Radiator studs. BY/SS.{S. Smith} | ||
