Type 53 chassis drawings

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

The earliest Bentley has drawings with some of the basic dimensions, mostly it appears for determining if the chassis is bent.
Dimensions for the suspension pickup points, engine mounts and chassis measurement holes.
There isn't ton of info, not enough to build a tube frame replacement for instance, but I can scan these if you'd like.

Also you might try any good local body shop with a frame machine. They should have dimensions for use with the frame machine for various chassis measurement points for all three dimensions.  Might be difficult to translate those dimensions into something useable though.
