BENTLEY 50.
REAR BUMPERS.

Please receive herewith the following scheme :-

F.CD.1020 Rear Bumper and Brackets.

The above scheme shews the rear bumper and mounting for B.50. We have shewn the frame lengthened to take the maximum body tail, and propose the frame should be cut off to suit the shorter tail overhangs.

Please instruct experimentally.
