You will remember that I am for fitting Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))s with 4-wheels brakes as soon as we can do so effectively and reliably. To my views it is more important than the 4 speeds or side levers, both of which to me are doubtfully worth their cost and disadvantages.
