The only down side of using a rolling road for brake testing is the narrow front track of a Seven.
My car had about 1/2" clearance each side so the car had to be placed very carefully,
The bigger wheels let the car onto the rollers more gently than the 10" wheels on a Mini.
The actual process of using the rolling road will not harm the car at all.
I used to be able to lock the front wheels up on the rollers but I suspect my legs are not as strong nowadays !
I have not put my car through an MOT test for the last ten years as the garage I used closed down due to retirement.
It was a specialist garage that did restoration work and one of the partners ran an XPAG engined MG J2 and the other one an M Type MG.
So they knew their way round the old stuff.
I now do my own brake tests with a Tapley Meter and Brake Efficency Chart.
I think my EB 65 weight is 9 3/4CWT or 496 KG according to period publications.
