WRAITH III - PEDALS.

The metal stop for the accelerator pedal in the downward position is found to be unsatisfactory. We should, therefore, like to add a rubber pad behind the accelerator plate to compress on the pedal gap plate as used on B.3 and B.50, using rubber stop FB.3776. The metal tab on support bracket FW.1126 requires deleting, the dimension from end of bracket to accelerator slot being made 1.500. Please instruct.
