INDUCTION SYSTEM - BENTLEY III. We have available the latest type of automatic S.U. carburetter for the above engine. The necessary modification to the induction pipe is shown on LCD.758. As detail drawings will not be available for some time, will you please look into the possibility of producing a mock-up system from the scheme drawing. We would like this to be available for No.5 unit, when this is fitted into a chassis. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
