Re: Rims



Well..

I gotta disagree with Jim on this one (and thats a rare moment)!

Bigger pads and rotors on the 72-3 mean more contact area and better brakes,
especially going down a hill!  I go through the bigger pads every 20K
when I drove in town I can imagine how bad the smaller calipers were.
I converted my 71 to the late brakes (and my 65 Notch too), change the steering
knuckle with caliper and the tie rod end (both ends and steering arm for a 
complete beef up).  Later brake parts are more $$ though.

Im glad I have them coming down from the hillclimb or with the boat 
hitched in back.
