Dear Sirs, We require a dust excluder for fitting on the inside of the carrier plate on our Girling front brake expander units, to be made similarly to the present outer cover GB.5010. The dimensions are shown on the accompanying sketch. We should like to know when you can send a dozen of these for experimental purposes. A quotation for 500 only would also be of interest to us. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
