Hey Scarah, How’s the work experience thing going?

Thought I would make myself useful seeing as I’m on a sicky today and also very bored. I’m using Capri discs on my Anglia and this is why………

 

Traditionally when rebuilding a 1950’s Anglia or Pop the original Ford front end has always been replaced with a Vauxhall Viva front end thus converting the front brakes from drums to disc’s. The Viva was always the perfect candidate because it was readily available and very easy to install. However as technology moves on the old Viva brake disc set up can now be up graded via the use of the Pop Browns hub conversion kit. This kit replaces the original Viva hubs with new billet aluminium hubs that allow you to run Ford Capri vented disc giving you even better braking.

 

Check out the Pop Browns link.

Hope you’re still awake and that this may have been some use to use.
