The downward stop for the Bentley clutch pedal is very unsatisfactory. It consists of contact between the pedal lever and the sloping surface of the clutch casing. The result is that the stop is not in the least positive and the clutch case has almost invariably to be filed locally to permit sufficient pedal travel. In many cases the clutch case cannot be filed sufficiently to prevent the pedal scraping against the side of one of the bolt bosses during the last part of its movement. We think this matter requires attention. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
