free from dirt & appear to be doing good work. 98
Slight powder in n/s drum.
In our opinion the rear drums spring under excessive pressure - Also there should be more clearance between foot & hand brake shoes - these appear to foul -
Generally, the hand brake is poor & Springy.
Both rear wheel tyres are worn smooth on the tread & are subject to skids.
Road surface good condition when these tests were done.
