Wraith Brakes 25 G VI.

Will you please modify the above brakes as follows :-

Take the servo off 26 G VI and fit it to 25 G VI. The servo on 25 G VI. has obsolete cams the latest type should be fitted to it before it is used again.

Reline the brakes with Ferodo S7356, herewith.

Fit the latest type fully heat treated drums. These are available. The drums now on 25 G VI. should then be fully heat treated and new liners fitted. They can then be interchanged with the drums on 24 G VI.
