Re: Help! 18hp Limousine Brakes

Sorry David

Was in a hurry earlier answering emails - stupid question is yours a Limo -
sorry about that.
Good news is that grease catchers were fitted to Whitleys I know for sure now as
I have found a Whitley back plate with one on I am hopeful to find the second
one tomorrow so I will hopefully have a pair you can have tomorrow. Same as the
limo ones.


Shall let you know defineatley have one at the moment.

Best wishes

Ian
Plymouth.
