We are anxious to try a new gauge of cable we have obtained, on a Bentley chassis to lower the volt drop in the cable and improve the starting from cold which is extremely poor on this chassis. Will you please arrange to fit up 3BIV, now in the Shop, with this cable. The main switch moulding will have to be altered slightly to clear the extra diameter and it may be found also necessary to raise the switch slightly from the dash with a distance piece.
