Yes, i was basically interested because discs are much less "fiddly" to
maintain than drums. Disc brakes are theoretically self-adjusting and don't
fill
up with dust and rusty bits like drum brakes do. I was also interested
because, having owned many SAABs' over the years, I am well aquainted with the
front
and rear braking assemblies.
The MGB parking brake problem would have to be addressed though, and keeping
the stock drums would seem to be a more elegant solution at this point.
Always like to know all the options.

The reason new cars have rear discs is not for performance, it's for

brake components, which are more numerous and more fiddly to install.
