Will you fit all hydraulic front brakes with the single stronger pull off spring to GCD.1419. Will you also instruct mild steel rods to replace the S/N rods now fitted from the servo to the links connecting the rear brakes and master cylinder. These two rods are only short and not liable to fatigue. Thisonly applies to experimental chassis. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
