Re: [doc] 4-Pot Callipers for the DeLorean

Mark,

Yes sorry, I did know it was from the Princess, it was just a friend 
of mine said that it was common practice to upgrade from the 
Cortina's original 2 pots to the 4-pots from the Princess. 

I have seen kits availible for not a great deal of money which 
include the 4-Pot callipers, Spacers & Vented discs. If I ever 
decide to go down the performance engine route this may be somthing 
I would consider.

To be honnest my DMC brakes are pretty sharp anyway.
