<div>2 main hurdles: 48-spoke wheels probably won't fit and
you'll need adapter plates, which are available from the usual
UK sources. These are available in 3.25" and 3.5" bolt
centers. The latter will accept Type 16 or Toyota 4Runner 4
pot calipers (which work well without a servo - i'm using them
with a 3/4" M/C on my BN6).</div>

<div>The stock BN7 setup calls for a 5/8" M/C with smaller rear
cylinders. A friend fitted a Girling .70 MC with good results.
But you might stay with stock to start with.<br>

<div>FWIW - a couple of years ago there was a guy in the US on
eBay who was selling a disk brake kit for the Healey. That's
all I remember.<br>
