Yes. British brakes aren't the same as in my new Ford. As I recall on the E-type, most of them have 4-wheel disks, but the rear ones are mounted inboard, near the diff. Which causes them to overheat,

On the not so lighter side, older trailers have a DOT bumper...piece of I beam about 4 inches thick, about 24" off the ground. This puts it just high enough to slide over the hood and fenders and int
