About to start brake upgrade project

Nick,
Let me know if you find out what that bending tool is called or where to get it. I'm starting the rollbar install now, the calipers were ordered this morning.

This is my #1 project for this year!
Based on XKE Jag series I brake upgarde testing in magazine reporting 60% improvement with 3000lb + car, stopping in the Cobra should become more F1 versus horse and buggy. The Dunlop calipers served their function in 60's but an upgrade mandatory in this century.

Remember to upgrade to braided brake hoses, gives a firm feel and less sponge.

Nick, where are my adapter plates???????????

I hope you have really done your homework. This sort of thing scares me. You can't just change to 'better' parts and expect better results. In fact, just the opposite can occur. Have we talked?

This is a very commonly done upgrade to CCX cars. Why are you scared? Why would we need to talk? Have you done this upgrade before?

If what you are telling me is that this exact change has been done before and properly designed and tested, then I will sleep easier!
