[Healeys] Toyota caliper pictures

[Alan Seigrist]

Seems to me if you did this mod you'd want a larger bore master and a higher
boost servo to balance out the stopping power and safety margins on the pedal
travel.  Otherwise looks like a compelling yet simple upgrade.  I'm sure if
you put some green stuff on there you'd get even better stopping responses.
