Rear Brakes - Wraith III

We send herewith N.Sch.8179 showing the stiffener for the frame at the bell crank levers placed inside the hollow side channel instead of outside. This is now possible with the large holes in the side channel and is better in giving more clearance for the brake rod forks.

The sheet metal brackets are extended by an amount equal to the thickness of the stiffener. We understand that dies have not yet been made for these.

N.Sch.8179 herewith.
