BRAKE SQUEAKS - BENTLEY. With reference to your query regarding the likelihood of a zinc bonded Ferodo being standardised; it would be of great assistance if you would tell us whether or not we have reduced the tendency for the brakes to squeak on any of the customers' cars to which we have fitted non-standard linings, and which type of lining, S.5805 or S.6611, seems most successful.
