Sean-
There is a write-up by Lindsay Porter in his book _MGB_Purchase_and
DIY_Restoration_ (Vol. 1) that describes yet another novel brake
alternative: custom built MGBV8 calipers. I cant remember all of the
details, but it uses the inner half of the standard MGB caliper and the
outer half of a Triumph #:O caliper (or vice-versa). A thicker rotor
from a Triumph is fitted, instead of the stock MGB rotor.
Apparently, these hybrid calipers are virtually identical to those
which were used on the factory V8s and can be made-up for a fraction
of the price. Might we worth a look...
