Minxrod (1961 Hillman Minx) has relatively tight original suspension and steering. I am a cautious driver and generally follow the speed limit. Brakes are okay in town, but, in a hard stop from 65mph they FADE! I think the brakes have original shoes and drums and show no evidence of being turned. They are 10” by 1.75”. Switching to disc brakes is not trivial. Is there a company that will turn the drums, and re-line and arc my shoes, with modern material? Is there a larger front drum brake that will bolt on? Minxrod uses a kingpin mounted spindle, perhaps like the early Alpine.
