11.B.V. BRAKES.

When this car comes into the shop will you please fit the following:-

(1) VG.90 brake linings.
(2) Increased leverage to master cylinder.

We should like the same servo and the sponge rod we have fitted from the pedal to the servo retained.

Will you also inspect the vent pipe from the petrol tank. This seems to be blocked and wire up the oil level indicator on sump to the instrument with a push switch similar to 30.G.VII.
