[Roadsters] 240Z rear brake drums fit? (was "Re: A few questions")

[Pete Peters]

...except that a common brake upgrade for the early 240Z's were Toyota
4Runner calipers...which is what Greg already has on his roadster (and
Maxima vented rotors).

Damn, we're back at the beginning! Betcha never saw that one comin', eh? <g>

Well, since a 240Z runs faster than our beloved Roadsters, maybe by
adding their brake drums it will make our cars run faster - but probably
only the back end of the car, unless you swap in 240Z front brakes of
course.

Peace,
Pat
