re Bensport Brake Pedal Stop.

We send you herewith:

LeC.3496 showing the brake pedal stop stiffened by forming a flute along the/centre line.

We have also reduced the gauge of the material to 12 SWG.

The first stop plates were weak because the pedal did not hit it squarely, but tended to leave it upward.
