The final scheme for reducing the hand brake leverage to 60 to 1 will not be ready in time for 33-EX. You can get the required result on this car by drilling the lever at the side of the hand brake intermediate shaft at three-quarters of its present length, or alternatively have a new lever made to these centres.
