[Roadsters] Fwd: Datsun roadster brakes

[BARTERDUDE at aol.com]

Hey - I take exception to the  assertion that the single brake master 
doesn't do the job.  I had a 1964  1500 (single master) that I raced SCCA 
gymkhana style racing once a month and  beat the heck out of the brakes (four wheel 
DRUM brakes with single master) and  NEVER NEVER HAD A PROBLEM BRAKING.  I 
won production E class beating out  the euro garbage of there era.  After 
100K of road and racing, replaced the  shoes once.

30  years later my '99 GMC still uses drum brakes on the rear wheels.  They
stop the truck and the boat just fine.

With your 1969 you can  explain to your confused neighbor he must be
thinking about the old  single circuit hydraulics, pre-'68.

Proudly lift the hood and show  your superior tandem master brake cylinder.

Oh and don't gloat too  much when you wave bye bye down the driveway when
you see him.
