Rear brake adjustment, can be adjusted up to 5/8".
This is too small a clearance for safety. One half
turn equals 1/8" of adjustment.

Front 7/16" O.K.

Front dampers require more load in minimum position. [Handwritten: ? Don't Agree]

BODYWORK.

[Handwritten checkmark] Very bad draughts from sunshine roof at back edge,
causes wind noise at front. Body is boomy and full
of wind noises.
