| X83 Re fabric lining to Footbrake. Mr Bailey 24/10/12. TBB10/L241012. It is suggested that we should try fabric similar to that which was found to be most suitable in our plate clutches, instead of Ferodo. Will you please instruct the Order Office to order a sufficient quantity to line say two sets of shoes. | ||
