[DeTomaso] Rear Brake Vent - additional pictures

Thu Jan 29 15:44:52 EST 2015

Indeed, here in the UK, quite a lot of the older OEM disc brake setups (for
example my previous Jensen C-V8) really struggle with the annual MoT. If it
were not for some "like minded" test inspectors we'd have problems. Luckily
my GT5S parking brake easily passes, but I do keep it well maintained and
do any necessary adjustment just before the test ;-)
