Phantom III Brake Linings. We wish to standardise Ferodo S.5805 on all brakes (i.e., hand, & front and rear foot brakes) from the 31st chassis onwards. This lining is fitted to 32-EX which is shortly going to do 10,000 miles. This lining is fitted to all our Ph.III cars, and it is quite satisfactory. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
