I'm going on the assumption that the new (as yet unnamed) 73 B needs a
complete brake overhaul. I dont know that for a fact yet, as tomorrow's the
day she gets towed off to the shop to get the once over, but, based on my
luck, I always start by assuming the worst.
I've been thumbing through the Victoria British catalog that the PO left in
the glove box (Spring 2000, so fairly recent). They've got an item in there
that's an upgrade set of disc brakes for all four wheels.
Is anyone familiar with this set? Any comments?
I've never owned a car that ran well enough on the road to even dream of any
racing or rallying, so I've never done it, but it sounds like a blast and I
think it's something I may graduate to eventually.
I'm cursed right now with a bit of expendable cash (As if the money I spent
on the B wasnt enough) and that BETTERSTRONGERFASTER demon is whispering in
my ear. "Why dont you just go ahead and upgrade the brakes?"
So, why dont I? Is that set worth $1000 USD?
