<VV> Better brakes.

[BBRT]

I think Kevlars are a very good choice. They work when cold and no
excitement of metallic brakes on initial stops. As a reminder, metallic
brakes of that era are truly metallic. A magnet will hold on them. They are
not like the semi-metallic of modern cars.. If one wants disk brakes on
front, both Michael LeVeque and David Clemens offer kits to convert with
very little effort. For 13" wheels.

A few years ago I had Cotrofeld's redo the brakes on my 66.  They put on
what I think they said were Kevlar brakes.  They worked extremely well.  At
the time I thought that it would be hard to see how disc brakes would be any
better.


Of course, I don't race the car, but I don't baby it either.

Hi all,
I would like to upgrade the brakes on my 61. I have already put in a
rebuilt 64 front end, now what next? I am not sold on the disk brake
conversion kits that I have seen. Besides the wife loves the wheel covers,
so for now the 13's stay on the car.
My only choice seems to be stock metallic pads.  Anyone have a set? Or have
any other suggestions?
Jim
