The Experimental Department recommend that for the first batch of SpectreCodename for Phantom III chassis we use centre plates obtained from Borg & Beck for the 13.5" clutch, hubs should be sent to Borg & Beck so that they can true the plates up on their mandrel before despatching to us. Will you please issue instructions for the above for the first 12 chassis only. In regard to the back pressure plates, these are not satisfactory, therefore should be held up for the 200 production chassis. The Borg & Beck specification for the plate in question is EX.44.
