| x206 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}22/KW.4.7.34. Latest Type Protected Brake Adjustment. ------------------------------------ We find that the .187" lift wing nuts on 4-B-IV do not give sufficient clearance to the brakes as the rest of the leverage has also been altered. Will you therefore please fit to 3-B-IV wing nuts having .240" lift so that we can see whether this will give us the correct adjustment, and instruct production accordingly. These wing nuts are the same as on the rear of the 20/25. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
