BORG AND BECK CLUTCHES Before any unit having a Borg and Beck clutch is fitted to a Chassis, or before a clutch is changed in a chassis, we wish to be consulted regarding the suitability of the clutch unless we have already issued instructions about it. This is because the majority of Experimental clutches suffer either from faulty finger setting or from wear of the pressure plate driving lugs. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth. | ||
