Lenny, It seems I have seen articles or pics of Eldo's with twin disc brakes
on the front. Am I wrong, or is that a very expensive project? Maybe you
are just interested in keeping the bike original. I have an Eldo single disc
brake project bike and am wondering if I am going to be happy with the brakes on
it. I have already had the cylinders bored and fitted with steel sleeves and
VW pistons (88mm). And plan on using 40mm round slide DellOrtos, so won't be
original. Am even thinking of using later model heads and thus later exhaust
headers if that is not too much trouble.
Anyway, I'm a ways down the road from this, so just in the thinking stage
now.
