Martindale}7/AP.3.2.37. HIGHER PROPORTION OF FRONT BRAKING BENTLEY. Many customers are asking for more front braking on their cars. Will you please make 12 pairs of levers Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}303. Cars fitted with these levers will need anti-judder pieces and 35º servo cams and they will get 7% more front braking. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
