[Healeys] 100S disk brakes

[Freese, Ken]

Edward,
To get a real appreciation of the years, yes years, of development work that
went into the Dunlop disc brakes, one should read Norman Dewis's biography.
Norman was the Jaguar test and development driver. I don't think that they
were put on a Jag production car until the XK-150.
On the 100S Dunlops, I could adjust the rears for good parking brake action or
no running friction, but not both. I settled for marginal parking brake
action.

Diring all the probs putting disks on rear of my AH, I googled 4 wheel disk
brakes and high on the list was the story about the 100S being the worlds
first 4 wheel disk brake car. As smart as Donald H was I wonder why he would
revert to all drums or combos afterwards Any idea why anyone?
