Interesting also that there is absolutely no bulkhead whatsoever between the drivers compartment and engine, a feature I have also seen in another Brookland's picture.
Given the 6" brakes Ian, what about a vacuum servo? cheers Russell
Ian,
I'm inclined to think its something to do with the brakes, as this car would have originally had uncoupled brakes it may be a device to connect front and rear brakes together as it appears to have a lever pointing up and one down. I presume that one lever is connected to the front and the other to the rear. Interestingly it appears to have no fairing fitted over the rear axles.
I believe that originally these didn't have a bulkhead between the cockpit and and engine, that is clear from the contemporary Motor Sport photos and this car is the same.
Cheers
Marcus
