We require some new Ferodo Liners for the servo of the Hispano car. We are nearly certain that the Ferodo people supply these linings. The internal dia. of the servo drum is 7 1/2" - the external dia. of the shoes when in the off position is 7 3/8" - the width of the shoes is 2" - the length of each shoe is 7 3/4". Will you please order 2 sets of these brake linings from Messrs. Ferodo. We recommend that we say they are for the Hispano car so that they can supply us with the identical material to that they supply the Hispano people with. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
