-2- (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. [Handwritten Initials] | ||
