6.B.IV Brakes.

Will you please replace the levers GB.1868, EX.29603 and GB.489 (lengths 1.850", 1.850", 2.625" respectively centre to centre) on the front equalizer shaft of this car, and correct the brake rope lengths to suit.

We are having a little trouble in getting these brakes to work satisfactorily.
