<DIV>Yup, Metro turbo brakes with the calipers ground away to fit under 10 inch
alloys, mounting bosses redrilled and partly ground off. </DIV>
<DIV>Instead of the forked brake line, they had drilled from one chamber to the
other, and put a plug in the second feed, and puddled some braze on it to hold
in place. Lick of paint, and jobs a good’un! </DIV>
<DIV>I didn’t really know what I was looking at, but fortunately one of the
plugs developed a slight leak which alerted me to the serious bodge. Replaced
with a set of alloy 4-pots and no further problems.</DIV>
