<p style="text-align: right;">Ben: as l've mentioned before, l'm an instinctive, natural-born cheapskate, but l have to say l'm with Mel and Roger here. Brakes aren't a component to economise too much on, so, as you say, perhaps best to 'stump up' on this one. Incidentally l didn't know XK 120 items fit the bill - that's a great tip. Also, bearing in mind that your car is a long-term project and may not be on the road for a year or so yet, maybe consider not fitting brake parts till you are nearer journey's end? For now, keep 'em in their greaseproof wrapping!  Tim.</p>
