TR2s are wonderful quirky old things. Beware the quest to "modernize" it with
discs, rack n pinion steering and the like. That is chasing a rainbow.
There is no good reason to do that unless you are racing. Drum brakes are
adequate to stop the car and keep it original, if you keep the drums in shape.
They do fade faster than disc, but is that an issue?
Or are you doing this because you have brake problems and have not properly
diagnosed/repaired the problem? brake problems are often due to bad hoses.
Switch to SS and see if that helps.

Yes, it is about MGA, but they are very similar cars and I believe the logic
here is the same.

Subject: [TR] TR2 front brake conversion
Listers,
Am considering converting my 1955 TR2 to front disc brakes. Have read in
forums what some folks have done. I could not see a one best way. Does anyone
have a â??cookbook recipeâ?? of the parts needed, procedures, etc. for a
reliable conversion? I know this is asking a lot and any suggestions are
appreciated.
John DeLuca
