I have been able to give the clutch on 20-G4 a good deal of testing in traffic, and I think the scheme you have fitted for lightening the pressure is most satisfactory in effect - it very appreciably reduces the fatigue when driving in heavy London traffic.
The air silencer is also a great improvement, and the braking is noticeably better.
Were there any other items you put on this car that you want me to watch?
