Re: Brake Lining Material.

Will you please instruct 'Ferobestos D' brake linings for the foot brakes for the whole of J-2 series.

The present standard Ferodo bonded material can be used for the hand brakes.

In regard to the Tenoid material, no more of this should be used, but it should be held in stock pending further instructions.
