Regarding a cutout, my impression is, from the two samples I have received, that the Bleriot cutout is the batter, and very good, working with vigour and reliability. It has been a perfect treat to have this fitting instead of the Lucas cutout, which requires a good deal of hammering on the instrument board. | ||
