<p>As in many cars of the period and even later. Same on my 1974
Jensen-Healey. I fitted even smaller cylinders at the rear and
increased braking force by at least 25% by fitting 4-piston
callipers and grooved discs.</p>

<div class="">Interesting topic.</div>
<div class="">I just had my rear drums turned, and I was surprised
at how little wear there was on the shoes.</div>
<div class="">I guess the engineers at BMC put in the smaller
cylinders as a kind of default brake bias control.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:

can certainly attest to the fact that when the
conditions change to "wet" removing a lot of rear
braking is absolutely essential to prevent the car
from swapping ends.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:

bias I would be very careful in trying to increase the
rear braking.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:

want is the rear end coming around, particularly in
the wet.</div>
