Some say 12 inch brakes from a P type will transform the braking others say
that
both 12 and 8 inch are not really much different and I
should just accept the standards of 70 years ago. Mike
Hawke says that the 12 inch conversion will add a lot of
weight to the car.
Advice would be appreciated from anyone who has experience
of this.
