F.DOOD BENTLEY 111 AND BENTLEY 50. & WRAITH 80. FLOORBOARDS. * Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.1033 Centre Floorboard. The above scheme shews the centre floorboard to suit the body crossmembers shewn on PD.277, which permits the battery box to be situated under the driver's seat. A pocket is shewn on the left hand side to allow sufficient clearance for the change gear cover. We have also moved the footswitch nearer to the clutch pedal as on 8.B.5. - it was found difficult to operate from the driver's seat. Please instruct experimentally.
