I am particularly anxious that you should try an EAC. chassis with the following modifications :-

(1) Slightly stiffer front springs.
(2) Slightly less fierce brakes.
(3) Slightly less braking on front wheels.
(4) Slightly slower servo speed.

All these would I think contribute towards safety, and an absence of jaggering brakes. About this latter phenomenon I shall be pleased if you will let me have information as to whether there has been and re-currence in our experience.
