	<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!
