My Victor TF was squealing when I acquired it. It's a different setup, 
since it's based on an MGB, but I fixed it by buying special high temp 
anti-squeal pads from O'Reilly's Auto Supply here in Tulsa. The pads 
cost $17, but it was worth it. Now the front brakes squeal only if I 
have been really flogging it and they are *seriously* hot.
