Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/HP.21.2.34. Bentley 14" Brake Drums. In order to take advantage of the .375 thick linings, as explained before, we have increased the cam radii. To bring back the leverage on front and rear axles, it is necessary to modify the levers as shown on M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Sch.3786, 3787 herewith. The geometry of the front brake operation on the locks is the same as now. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
