[Rovernet] 63-66 P6 Dunlop brakes

[Vern Klukas]

Girling is not a bolt on affair.

At the front, the struts are different. At the rear, the diff output shaft assemblies are different and you require the complete handbrake assembly, including a forward diff mount (not the rubber, the metal crossmember).

Yours
Vern
