|What size brakes are on the Europa? Do they run 9.75 dia. Stanpart brakes
|as are found on the GT6 or 9.00 inch ones a la Spitfire?
I have been trying to get a definitive answer on this issue for quite
some time. I understand that two different diameter disks were used
on GT6s; but I don't know the sizes, which models used which, or if they
use different calipers. Corresponding master cyliners and wheel cylinder
sizes are also probably good to know. I do know that atleast two different
brake systems were used on Europas (S2 vs. TwinCam). I also know that a
bolt-on upgrade exists that is bigger than the brakes fitted to the Europa
Specials (the largest to come from the factory). But again I lack the
specifics. Any info (either GT6 or Europa related) would be great.

|For a Europa though, I would get the cosworth 4-valve heads that they
|used to run in Formula Atlantics to 11000 RPM (with 58 DCOEs). They
|mount right on the little Ford engines that came on the twincam europas.
Know where I can lay my hands on one? I've got the rest of the car...
Thanks.
