I don't drive the thing in the rain and, all-in-all, the brakes on the early BN1s are pretty crap as it is. Maybe bias ply isn't such a bad idea.... might be fun. I'll keep the fat radials on the BJ

I just had to comment on your note here re BN1 brakes. I suppose one's impressions about braking ability are relative to what one is used to on today's cars, but when properly set up the Hundred alw
