EAC.1. BRAKE GEAR. X9940 X9570 X9330

With reference to the brake operation on this car the leverage appears to be too much on both hand and foot. Would you kindly send us a diagram or arrangement drawing shewing the brake leverages on this chassis so that we can investigate this question of leverage.
