    1968 s brakes

    Hello,

    What kind of brake disks should go back onto a 1968 resto? Does anyone know who provided the OEM? Is there a sensible upgrade? Eg blind drilled and grooved? Car is going to be road driven, but I'd still like it to stop well!

    Thanks Rich

    Hi Rich.
    Try poking around on the PMB site. He's got a page showing what brakes would have been used for the different generations (and what his restorations look like for each).

    As for rotors, I'd say that drilled and slotted rotors are unnessicary for a street car.
