Leaky?

Thanks CliveL,

as you said on P.55 a fair few moons ago:

I doubt I will get away with that without some explanation....
Your engineering "finger in the air" seems quite reasonable, so that answers one question, thanks.

I have a new project, on my next visit to Duxford to find out if the front wheel brake disk is the vented style, or solid. For on one of my cars I have Cortina solid front disks, and on another the vented ones, and I'd like to know which one has a "Concorde" front brake Do I have to look in between the front wheels?
