SPORTS CAR BRAKING. X8420 / X.8330.

We anticipate that the final brake distribution on 10-EX and the other sports cars will be obtained with the following levers on the front equalising shaft :-

(a) G.73149 3.00" cts. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation}
(b) G.74666 altered to 2.78" cts. {C. Trot Salt - Carburation}

Will you please arrange to have two sets of these levers available. Lever (a) was standard until just recently.
