| WRAITH - REAR BRAKES. We notice that the three .250 locating bolts called for to locate the two brake carrier plates and the spring pad are K.206, which has a very long thread, the effect of which is to prevent the bolts doing any accurate location, because the thread extends through the inner carrier plate into the outer one. This does not seem very good, and we suggest that KB.3668 should be substituted as shown on FD. {Frank Dodd - Bodies} 326 herewith. We have also shown a shorter bolt and lock nuts for the .312 bolts in clearance holes, to match up with our standard practice, and whether this is also introduced is a matter of the Works' convenience.
