We consider it will be advisable to fit an additional pull off spring on the front brake rod to overcome the friction load of the damper which equals about 5 - 6 lbs. This is fixed to the jaw on to the damper arm and attached to the front (engine mounting plate). The scheme is fitted to 9.B.V. and a supply of parts should be available.
