front drum brakes & rear disks...

["Mark Battley" <M.Battley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

<same thing happens in a car - ever see a car w/FRONT drum brakes &
<rear disc brakes?  .........  you'll never see ANY of these
<things, cuz the front brakes are the ones that get most of the 
<work......

Not from a car manufacturer you won't. But the world of car butchers 
is a scary place.

I once bought a Fiat 125 from someone who also had a Morris Minor 
van: with a Fiat 1608 DOHC motor, gearbox and rear axle (which has 
disks standard). Front brakes: original drums, which have enough 
trouble with the 30-40 hp (?) of the original pushrod engine.....

Be afraid, be very afraid!
