J.3. with separate gearbox.

In order to complete the instructions for this car, we have made N. Sch's 3898/9 (herewith) showing the rear brake differential made from existing parts and modified only to provide the new swivel bearings and for direct operation to 4 brakes, so that a mechanical system of brakes can be fitted up should we decide not to try the adopted hydraulic system on this car.
