Thanks Kevin, good to know. Rich they are std MGB discs and calipers, but I'll be fitting uprated pads to start with. I very much aim to get the car built fairly stock, then add improvements once I can test them on the road.

In other news, I got given this by my wife's uncle at my wedding. After asking for first refusal if he ever sells it, he said "If you come get it fixed up you can have it!"

A t-cut plus some air in the tyres and take it out for a thrash!
