This is to confirm that you are issuing instructions for stronger rear brake actuating shafts for Peregrine. We find that the torsional deflection of those to G.100300 is responsible for nearly half the sponginess of the brakes and hence lost movement of the brake pedal. At the same time could be incorporated the 20/25 type adjustment which we require with out increased direct braking as the present notches do not give a fine enough adjustment.
