Adding to what D squared says, since 1975, I have had 5 cars with the
"dreaded" 4 caliper Budd brakes, and have never had a problem with any of
them, other than normal maintenance items. I still have 4 such cars (2-67s
and 2-68s) and so far, they are all behaving themselves very nicely; all
stop superbly well, with no fade, pulling, vibration or noise. Am I just
lucky, or are these pretty good brake systems?
I've had to replace a few master cylinders, a booster or two, plus wheel
cylinders and linings in the rear, but I've yet to have a problem with the
disk brake system.. What few parts I have needed have all been available
from my friendly local NAPA store.
