| JLE.{J. Lee Evans - Chassis Test Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Brakes 1029 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/ML.31.10.40. I want to get hold of a Hispano brake drum, off one of the big Hispano's. The type I want is aluminium, with a cast-in liner. I believe Jack Barclay has several second hand cars in stock and would be glad to lend me a drum. Anything you can do in the matter would be very much appreciated.
