from other manufacturers. This has increased the number of runaway parked
vehicles, as the discs cool and contract, releasing the brakes! Just a thought
for those putting rear discs on their Type 3s.

NSU had a smart way of doing the handbrake on the Ro80- they had disk brakes on the rear, with a separate handbrake shoe inside the disk. They also used the same calipers as the Type 3 front brakes on the rear.
