1. Length of Lining
The lengths given for the lining on 341-A and 303 cars
allow for cutting to length to suit each individual band.
The most economical method is to purchase lining in rolls
and cut to length when installing. Lining for external
bands should be cut A in. longer than the band. Lining
for internal bands should be cut A in. shorter than the
band.
