Dan Walters should chime in on this thread.
Several years ago Dan came up with a beautiful brake package for Jim Hubka's
black Mk 1A. (This is the Tiger Lynn Wall mentioned last week with the dual
roll bar hoops that can be raised for open track events).
I'm vague about the details. I think they used 15" Panasports and that Dan
used Brembo components that were meant for a Ford (Grenada?) application but
he still retained the stock Tiger bolt pattern. The result was outstanding
braking performance at a very reasonable price.
