Glen,
You can never have too much in the way of good braking on these cars
and this is especially true in your case. I always find that while
the brakes are good if set-up right, that I've found that some are
better than others. Using the twin piston cylinders and having not as
hard a pedal is better. If BMC went to a smaller bore when they went
to discs, there must have been a good reason as you know they never
did anything they didn't have to do.
