Lidsey} 1/KT.17.8.32 It appeared to us that the bottom of the balance lever was the obvious place to attach the damper as in this position all front brake movement is damped. We were troubled with thumps similarly on the first Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) chassis, and it was only after fitting up a similar damper that thumps could be eliminated.
