BENTLEY III BODY MOUNTINGS. From FCD.287 we see that Bentley III is being designed to have floatex body mountings. As Floatex body mountings are considerably more expensive than the rubber body mountings used on Phantom III, we think arrangements should be made so that P.III type body mountings can be tried as alternatives on the second car.
