Re: [T3] 73 Front Brakes on a '70


Hi Dave (and Greg)!
I disassembled the front brakes on my swedish -73 Variant (= Squareback)
last week. To my surprise each caliper had four small pistons instead of the
more common two big pistons. OK - that«s fine with me. I have got the
impression that a four-piston (four-pot!) system is somewhat more
sophisticated  than the ordinary two-piston type, but I«m not sure what«s to
gain. More brake power? Can anyone tell if there is any advantages with
this? 
Dave, I had no idea that it was a "very rare" option. Cool!
