TR4 CT5521LO was originally fitted with B-Type as described. Disc wheel car.
Hum, well after Moss's and Pigot's break point, Huh? Anyway it is now fitted
with C-Type installed by the PO and all is well. She stops fine. To my
knowledge it has never been caught by a Concours Judge either including TRA.
Oh
well cat's is outta the bag now. I still call BS on these so called published
part break points, especially on early Fours. They are basically coming from
the Triumph Spare Parts Catalogs which IMHO were not intended to give exact
information on part changes. You got to go with what is on the original cars
out
there in quite a few cases.
Cheers,
