Surplus Brake Parts

[Fred Hudspeth]

I have replaced the OEM drum brakes at the intermediate wheels with a disk
brake system from Dave Lenzi (ref. my '78 Royale). 'Also replaced the OEM
front calipers with 80MM calipers and new Performance Friction pads. As a
result, I have surplus parts that I will give to anyone for local pickup
(Tyler, TX). All parts have substantial remaining service life. 'Not
willing, however, to do packing for shipping and then shipping...

If interested, contact me via private email.

I'm not in need of the parts, but am very interested in how the Lenzi brakes are working. I saw the system at the Tucson GMGMHI meet last year, and
was quite impressed. Hopefully you and any others who have installed these will be willing to share their impressions on the system. The Stretch
needs better brakes & I am trying to decide what to do. I have been in contact with Dave, & would like to find how they have performed in service.

Thanks, John

John, contact Rick Flanagan as he can demo how 6 tires can stop you under
panic stop.
I know there are several including Al Branscombe that feel the coefficient
of fricyltion at only 4 tires at panic stop will avoid sliding at the rear.
We knew this when we were testing back several years back.
Panic stop it at 60 mph and see.

Gentlemen, thanks for the feedback. Good to get info from those who are using that system. Lots to consider. This heavy stretch needs an
improvement over what it has. It stops ok... but I do not want to be in a panic stop with it as it is.

Thanks again, John S
