CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS FOR 'V' SERIES. It has been agreed that we should not alter the pedals for 'V' series. If this is done it will mean that the pressure required to withdraw the clutch on 'V' series will be considerably greater than on the present 40/50 HP. The comparison is - 46 lbs. 40/50 HP. 64 lbs. EAC. The clutch pedal pressure has already been criticised. We recommend that we go ahead with both types of pedal for 'V' series. This need not entail much scrap because the new pedals have got to be prepared for 'W' series. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
