[Healeys] Girling Calipers Type 16??

[Alan Seigrist]

Simon -

Steve Gerow just recently posted his pics of a Toyota caliper set that fits
right up to the disc with no modifications:

That being said, you can get better performance simply by going to better
pads (I like to use Redstuff pads) and installing a servo.

Best,

Alan
