SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Front Brake Linkage. Now that a front roll bar is fitted, we should liketo reduce the depth of the slots in the frame side members made to pass the front brake operating rods. N.Sch.4570 shews the proposal, which consists of raising the position of the inner end of the brake operating rod, so putting the slot in a better position as regards the side member section. The modification is to the rod fork piece and pin only. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
