We have handed over to Brazzier a complete set of new Luvax drip plugs. You will notice that the No.1's have special caps and are larger width hexagons. Will you please pay special attention to these and let us know whether you think they are an improvement on the old type. One No.3. drip plug is not drilled to take the reservoirs G.77663/4 which we include. This should therefore be drilled out and these reservoirs fitted in place of the brass ones. The drip plug which you sent back by Brazzier is the old type and we suppose you must have picked it up from the bench. The previous drip plug you sent was quite satisfactory and gave the correct drops per minute. We await some information on the reservoirs fitted to the axles.
