RELINING BENTLEY BRAKES. We understand that you are ordering stocks of Ferodo for Bentley relinings. We would prefer that Ferodo BZ was used for this job instead of the original MR: it is however impossible to fit BZ unless the car has anti-judder weights and 35° cams now used on 25/30 production. All 4 1/4 litre owners will have anti-judder weights. The 35° cams cost 14/8d. If you can persuade any owners to pay this extra, we think it will be to their advantage.
