(10) Steering. Controls not correct type.
We understand these have to be changed for a type which has a split type horn button to operate the twin horns.

(11) Brakes. Are not sufficiently good for a car with this performance.
A new lever giving increased front braking to be fitted.

(12) Axle. 8 X 33 ratio axle is now fitted.
As this axle is quiet, we suggest it should not be changed to 8 X 34 ratio as was originally intended. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} agreed with this.
