[Healeys] Uprating early 3000 disk brakes

[Peter Caldwell]

Just a point about the calipers.
The P16 calipers that are a straight exchange with those used on 
Healeys are from Triumph TR4As, TR250s, and TR6s upt to mid 1972. 
Also MGCs used them. Later TR6s and Capris used the metric M16 
calipers. Within the group of P16 calipers are P16B which swap, 
except the component pistons and seals are not interchangable.
