Use a small adaptor that would bolt to the front spindle, bolt up the MGB
front caliper, using spacing to make sure it centers on the disc. Drill the
disk to fit the hub holes, and use a vacuum power brake assist to work it.
You might have to bore the M/C, since the caliper uses more volume of fluid.
Voila!!!!!!!
Then you can put in some Recaro seats, and a micro-wave in the back.
You might want to fit a one-wire high output alternator, and change the
tacho to electronic innards so it would work.
Dump in a five speeder, and a small block Chevy, too!
The possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!
Best,
Ray
