1. Re: Disc brakes (score: 1): Author: "Mark Palmer" <mgvrmark@hotmail.com>; Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 18:56:58 +0000; I'll register my disagreement. It is wrong to assume that ALL drum brakes fade, or are otherwise inadequate. Perhaps some, but not all. IMHO most people who upgrade to discs and claim "it's a safety; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00205.html (9,007 bytes)

The 100S is still a BN1 albiet highly modified, at the factory, for racing, first at Sebring (S).; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00210.html (8,986 bytes)

Re: Disc brakes (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 15:03:48 EST; I think that the Jensen 541 Deluxe (first produced October 1956) was the first serious production car with discs. It slightly predated the disc brake TR-3, as I recall. Bill /// vintage-race@autox.te; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00212.html (7,666 bytes)
4. Re: Disc brakes (score: 1): Author: JWoesvra@aol.com; Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 15:13:35 EST; The 100S Healey appeared in late 1954. I think they were serious. I don't know if Jensen ever were. The 100S modifications were done at the Healey shop rather than by BMC, BTW. jw /// vintage-race@au; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00213.html (7,691 bytes)

The same reasoning also applies to carboretors, suspension mounting points, gearboxes, vehicle weight, roller-rockers, etc, etc. Changing these items from their original specification give; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00214.html (9,015 bytes)

Rotor or drum diameter was really all that was specified in the rule books. And, certainly the allowances of the fifties were stricter than in the sixties.; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00218.html (8,678 bytes)

9. Disc Brakes (score: 1): Author: John Hardy <hardwire@electract.co.uk>; Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 22:57:07 +0000; The simple answer is if you want a car with disc brakes get one. If your car has drums and you're unhappy get rid of it to someone who wants an Honest Car. Don't bastardise it and "upgrade" it. Where; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00225.html (7,800 bytes)

11. Re: Disc brakes (score: 1): Author: Tombread@aol.com; Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 18:22:27 EST; BTW, a case can be made for discs over drums being safer in the wet. Given the option of changing over from drums to discs, wet racing performance/safety alone would be persuasive. Tom Butters /// vi; /html/vintage-race/2001-11/msg00227.html (7,525 bytes)
