[Tigers] Brake project, painting the discs

[Gary Winblad]

Jay,
He means another "modern" car, not the puck.
Would be good if you could just go down to the local parts store and buy 
them but I've never heard of any
replacement.   They are not a high wear item, since 1971 I have replaced 
them exactly...  once!  And with
SS (from SS) they should last longer this time.
Replacing the entire brake package with Wilwood or something might be 
what he should do.
Gary
