Next challenge is to motorize my Blower Bentley. With careful planning it should fit where the rear seat is. Will lose the rear drum brakes unfortunately and maybe have to change the 19'' wheels for 17''.

Why change the wheels? Looks great as is.

Hi Charles. When i remove the drum brakes to fit the drive plates, the wheels are left with a cavity where the drums were. The 17'' wheels i used on my Alfa are already set up to take these plates. Also looking at Bentley photo's, 17' s are more in proportion. Cheers Brian.

Hello, Brian! What was the result of reconstruction? What is the experience of driving it and what are the performances of magnificent Bentley? Happy and jolly driving... Regards, Zoran

Hi Zoran. Well after much head scratching and discussion with my wife, i decided to leave the Bentley as it is. So on to other projects for now until further inspiration comes knocking at my door.Regards Brian.
