Having met a white van man on the wrong side of a country lane recently ( him ..not me ) I'm considering upgrading the brakes on my 72 TR6. The standard set up works reasonably well but it would be good if the stopping distance could be safely reduced when situations like this arise. Having read numerous threads ( some quite old) I wondered if there is currently any consensus regarding this. Primarily I'm looking at the front and see complete kits vented discs , 4 piston calipers are available but at quite a price. There are also lots of references to Toyota early pick up calipers.Rear disc conversion looks very complicated but there are references to brake cylinders with larger bores from Morgan and Sunbeam Tiger. I understand pad are quite a consideration and Mintex 1144 and Ferodo FD S167 seem to crop up. So what upgrades are worthwhile and how complicated are they. Thanks Phil
