BENTLEY REAR BRAKE DRUMS. On investigation of the complaint of rubbing we find that approximately 2 years ago the length of the distance piece which controls this feature was increased .037, thus giving a maximum of .107 and minimum of .062. We have now (5.2.37) altered this length by a further .025. We are taking action in the Works to ensure that we get at least the minimum clearance. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/Cy.
