| X206 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/KT.19.4.33. BENSPORT BRAKES. We think that we have too much direct braking on this car which results in the pedal reaching the floorboards during violent braking. Will you therefore please alter the centres of GB.482 from 2.325 to 1.875 on chassis 2 and 3. In order to maintain the correct proportion of front braking, will you please increase the radius of the toggles in the front drums from .325 to .365. We prefer to make the alteration here as the wear per notch adjustment is then increased. Will you also prepare some cams suitable for the 20/25 servo of 40° and 35°, to try on Bensport.
