[Mgs] Big Brakes/Pads

[Chris Attias]

I was wondering whether there was a significant difference in piston 
size between the stock calipers and the Wilwoods.  I'm guessing that 
if there was, it might have some bearing on effort required, ability 
to modulate braking, and lockup point.

I would think that the two most obvious advantages of the Wilwood 
setup would be a slightly lower unsprung weight with aluminum 
calipers--probably not noticeable in a B--and the greater selection 
of pads from Wilwood.  There were LOTS of pads with different 
characteristics available for the calipers I have on my S IIA Land 
Rover.

Kelvin:  How did you find a Wilwood caliper with dust seals?  Are 
they a special run?
