Given the mileage on the Ford, I've decided to rebuild the front brakes
and bearings "just in case" I got most of the parts in the UK, two hubs,
new brake disks, all new bolts and screws to replace the ones that
mechanics have mashed over the years and from America new brake
calipers.

I decided on the calipers because on the old ones the pistons are
looking in poor conditions and they're cheap (less than $30 each). And
now with a long weekend ahead using the USPS tracking system I can see
that the package has been sat in Customs at Coventry for three days.
Bastards.

What's the head and leg room like in one of those? Suitable for
someone who is 2 metres tall?
