re Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) Camshaft.

Would you please arrange to produce the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) camshaft without the central hole.

We do not think the expense of making this shaft hollow is worth while, particularly as we are using solid shafts on 20/25 and P.II.
