When I worked for Bedford One of my 'tasks' via the MOD was brake wheel cylinders and specification/standards thereof. . . . The Indians were making copies slave cylinders and Lockheed style boxes and a supplier was selling them to the MoD cheaper than we were offering genuine ones . . . . . When a squaddie got badly injured due to brake failure the MoD weren't too pleased! 'Safety critical' and 'corner cutting' don't mix.
Nor sure how you'd water cool brakes in an air cooled car
