We have no report from you yet as to whether the 35º cams cure judders. In case they do not, we send you out more star springs, 6 of which when used with 40º cams and Halo 3L servo discs help us considerably. We find the star springs are best arranged in groups of 2 and 4, back to back in the usual manner.

We note you think that Wraith has too much front braking on wet roads. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}495 will alter this and we think you ought to try it on the front equalizer, and repeat your impressions.
