Once you have done that, fit Austin Princess 4 Pot calipers, or SD1
calipers to the GT6 disks, on the standad vertical link. If you go to a
scrap yard youself, and buy an overhaull kit you'll get it at a quater
the standad price. Covert the rear hubs to GT6 hubs.
I am looking into the posibility of Metro 4 pot calipers, like wot mine
had, mabe vented disks with that!!! Oh I think Metro's had that valve
you are talking about, but you have to get early ones because they are
imperial.
