Gosh, I feel like Obama: I can say anything as if were true. But that =
doesn=E2=80=99t make it so. Case in point, I don=E2=80=99t have a deluxe =
badge, nobody modified it, nor is it a transition car. It is strictly a =
MkII. My mistake.

Thanks Gordie. I thought all deluxes came front and back too, but this =
one is either mis-badged (it has the deluxe script on the boot), been =
modified by somebody, or is a transition car. It just occurred to me =
that I think I read somewhere that you can take a 1600 and make it a =
deluxe with a kit. I think. But it definitely doesn=E2=80=99t have the =
Dunlop front brakes with the square and easily removed pads; they are =
the regular pads and calipers of a 1600.

what are the rear brakes? Never heard of a deluxe with anything other =
than dunlop disk brakes all around. Of course, that does not mean much.
Look up Autosport in Bloomington, Indiana and ask for Tucker (Madawick), =
the owner. He has a deluxe and could probably answer your question.
Or, if you would like, come to Frankenmuth, MI next week and talk to him =
(and a couple hundred other MGA enthusiasts) at NAMGAR GT 40.
He will have his deluxe with him.

Subject: [Mgs] MkII deluxe brake components
=20
Hi. I have a MGA Mk II deluxe, but either it came with MkII brakes, or =
somebody replaced the Twin Cam/MkII deluxe caliper with a MkII caliper. =
I noticed in the Moss catalog that no replacement is available for the =
MkII deluxe caliper. Is it likely that the deluxe came out with just =
regular MkII calipers to begin with? In looking at my calipers, rotors =
and pads it appears that the front brakes haven=E2=80=99t been working =
in a while: the pads don=E2=80=99t look they have seen any action, the =
rotors are a little rusty with virtually no wear down from the extreme =
outer section of the rotor, the caliper pistons look encrusted as they =
sit at the caliper, and there are spider webs and light debris that I =
thought would have been burnt off if the pistons were making contact =
upon pressure of the brakes.
=20
If this is true, I doubt that I will be able to break the pistons free =
and will have to order complete new calipers.
=20
Any thoughts??

TIA,
