BENTLEY 3, 50 and WRAITH 80. PEDALS. Please receive herewith the following scheme :- F.CD.833 Modified Brake Pedal Lever. The above scheme shows the brake pedal moved inwards .750 towards the centre line of the chassis at the Experimental Department's request, in order that the foot does not foul the accelerator pedal when using the brake pedal. The clutch and brake pedalsare now spaced in the same positions, relative to the steering column as Wraith lll. Please instruct experimentally. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
