The suggestion of using a pressed steel gap plate appears to me a perfectly sound one, and worth the attention of design dept. Ultimately we would like to see the same pedals and gap plates for all cars, at all events Wraith and Bentley series, and possibly Phantom. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R.
