[Roadsters] Datsun roadster brakes

[Tom Hendricksen]

On an outing with Datsun's NW a few years ago I managed to get the 
brakes hot enough on Mr. Hyde to stink going uphill.  The downhill run 
was done in 2nd gear only using a lot of both gas and brakes on the 
twisty road.  They really stunk at the bottom of the hill, but to my 
surprise never faded.

If I wondered about their effectiveness before going up and down the 
hill I was thrilled with the brakes after they cooled down.  They have 
worked much better ever since.  I have manifolds to connect a single 
brake line hose to a Volvo caliper, but don't know if I will ever use them.
