Further to BY22/G16.5.29. and our conversation on the subject. We want to confirm that it is very desirable to get the altered leverage on the cars before they leave the Works as otherwise we srun into trouble with squeaking front brakes.

Additionally, the new servo lining which can only be used with the altered leverage gives us much improved consistency. We should therefore be glad if you will let us know the position you are in with regard to the Works production.
