Wraith.

During the weekend six Wraith Chassis were stored at Kingsbury. It has been noticed that the front brake pull rod actually fouls the spring casing, (i.e. nut) when nearly on maximum bump. When in the stationary position fully loaded the rod has ample clearance. The lever on the brake drum required setting over.
