RE: WILMOT BREEDON SPECIAL 'A' TYPE BUMPER. - CHASSIS NO. B.105-CW. PARIS TRIALS CAR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- With reference to Sr/VA.2/ET.4.7.35. we have already arranged for Wilmot Breedens to produce these clips with a larger diameter screw thread, and to be made from nickel steel instead of mild steel as at present. In regard to the Bentley cars which are in France we propose to arrange for a supply of new clips to be sent to you in order that they can be fitted in place of the original ones. Will you please let us know how many sets we should send to you. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
