| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/KW.9.4.35. Water Excluders - Bentley Rear Brakes. As the result of tests it seems likely that practically all complaints about rear brake inefficiency due to water would be obviated if the holes in the rear hub plates were blocked up. It does not seem necessary to fit any more elaborate excluder than the present one unless 100% effectiveness is required. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/A.F.Martindale. | ||
