contd :- -2- and the springs modified. We have not heard of a single case of a customer complaining of any deterioration in the riding qualities of the car after the brakes had been fitted. We are prepared to admit that there has been a slight deterioration as it is only logical that there should be when we put up the unsprung weight and fit stiffer springs. Big efforts are being made to reduce the unsprung weight. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
