The only down side to the outboard braked rear is that when you also have the fully functional handbrake the mechanism makes it very hard to get to the front universal joint for lubrication. Almost impossible, in fact. I put her away in her bag this weekend, but next spring, when she comes out, my first project on her will be to install a removable "trap door" on the passenger side of the tunnel so that all you do is remove the passenger seat, lift up the carpet, unscrew the trap door, and lube the front u-joint.
