    Disc brakes are an improvement in technology. Which I'm guessing Triump=
h figured out sometime in 1956. One of the reasons I'm able to beat Corvett=
es on the race track, is because of their inferior front drum brakes to my =
Triumph discs. An errant ball or Squirrel crossing the street may also be a=
 good reason to have better brakes. Chevy didn't add discs to the front of =
a Corvette until 1963. Duh.

     Am considering converting my 1955 TR2 to front disc brakes. Have read =
in forums what some folks have done. I could not see a one best way. Does a=
nyone have a =E2=80=9Ccookbook recipe=E2=80=9D of the parts needed, procedu=
res, etc. for a reliable conversion? I know this is asking a lot and any su=
ggestions are appreciated.
