We would point out that apart from the overhung pinion to SCD.1326 this axle is of the latest rationalised type and to suit this it will be necessary to modify the following sections, since the semi-floating axle rear brake and hubs at present fitted to 9.B.V. are early designs which are now obsolete :- Sec.6130 - Rear Brakes. Sec.6150 - Rear Brake Equaliser. Section 6170 - Rear Hub. Section 7030 - Rear Spring and Fittings (Spring Plate and 'U' Bolts). Instructions to cover these sections will be issued when specifications are available. 'Cont'D'. | ||
