| SECRET I.O.Ashley To-EY. Copy to Mr. RM. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} HHG. NRE. Ray/APM. 606. Wraith II Front Brakes. ------------------------ We give below the Expl. Dept's report and criticisms on the above and would be very glad if you would issue the necessary instructions as indicated. 1) Front brake fulcrum pin bolts. These two bolts have their heads recessed in the mild steel dust shield. We would be glad if you would arrange for the heads to sit on the dust/shield as there is apparently no need to prevent the bolts from turning, and for the locking plate for the nuts to be a single locking plate as used on the rear brakes for Wraith II. 2) Front brake carrier plate. Will you please arrange for the bolts attaching the front brake carrier plate to the stub axle and which are now riveted over to be locked with spring washers, as this is requested by the Expl. Dept. EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
