105 brakes, 2000?, Bertone, GTV

[richard bies <bies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The little cut-out is there to encourage the pad to wobble slightly on
release, thereby withdrawing it from tight contact with the disk.  I
eyeball that angle.

The cast iron four was the engine of the Alfa 2000, predecessor to the
2600.  Forget it.  It may have been nicely made, but stick with the
aluminum 2L.

And nicknames almost always introduce ambiguity -- the 2000/2600 closed
coupe was <also> Bertone (except for the aluminum Zagato).

When the 105 was given the GTV initials, that's what it was called in the
US.  '66.  Precious few 105.02 here.
