[Rovernet] 63-66 P6 Dunlop brakes

[Gord Reddy]

Hi All,
   Yes, keeping my P6 original is important if possible, also when I priced 
changing to Girling it seemed to be quite expensive. There are the obvious 
advantages of readily available calipers and discs plus knowing braking can 
be increased. I did not know that the Girling would just bolt on and thought 
that I would have to change the main strut etc. When I was asking about 
discs a year ago no one mentioned anything about it, so I continued on the 
Dunlop path.
   Wins should take that off their site because they don't have them, at 
least they didn't when I asked...twice.  If they do now that's great but 
when I needed them there were only a pair from the UK available.
   I am going to pursue this and when I have a price I will put it out 
there.
Gord

Hey Gord,

Rob Sayre is having trouble posting a reply on here. Here's what he had to
say:

"Win’s shows they have the Discs for 55 Pounds each.  Also one on e-bay
Australia now for $90 Australian dollars.  Shipping would be expensive.

I also saw some not long ago on e-bay in USA."

Cheers,

Steven
