Please receive herewith tracing of G.CD.397 showing modified Fixing of Front Brakes Expander Unit. The two studs are now locked by centre punching, instead of by drilling for a pin as shown on N.Sch.5191. We have deleted the collar from the distance piece, and instead of a castle nut and split pin we are using a lock nut and spring washer. These modifications bring the design into line with the rear brakes shown on N.Sch.5178. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
