As regards overcoming complaints on present cars, we know of no way of preventing rapid wear other than having the fabric on the driven member. The cheapest way to do this is to fit the Borg & Beck clutch costing £21, of which £16 is labour charges. The cost of relining the present clutch is £8. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
