As a side note....I got the opportunity to work on this 2 weeks
ago.
Had to pull the left spingle and hub, then remove the steering
knuckle, get some welding done, then reassemble.

It was interesting how the hub was assembled...no manual...sigh. It
certainly wasnt a system Id ever seen before. And of course..the
wheel
bearings were ball bearings..not rollers.

Nice old Bug.
Prewar Itallian engineering.
Designed to be light and stroing - and FAST.

No seat belts either.

They arent cheap.

The new model:

I'll bet the new one stops quicker, even from 250mph.
Undoubtably - but the tires were the limiting factor on a T35. The
drum brakes were HUGE, and the design of the wheel provided "actve
cooling". They DID tend to fade in tight track racing, but locking
the brakes was never really a problem.

They only faded when they were wet or you put your foot on the brake
pedal. I so, so, sooooo don't miss drum brakes. Or carburetors.
I made tens of thousands fiddlin' with both, and prefer not.
Likewize - but the FIRST stop with a Drum brake is every bit as
good as the first stop on a disk - and generally has lower drag.

No arguements at all on carbs!!!
