"Austin 7s can't do that!" he exclaimed while jumping back in astonishment. However, instead of wearing out in a few miles, the brakes (with rivet-free, bonded-on linings - and perfectly bedded-in of course) then lasted for around 10,000 miles while maintaining most of their remarkable stopping power.
