[urq] Brake Upgrade

[Jim Haseltine]

The MB & RR Ur used the same front caliper as the V8 and various versions of 
the 100 and 200.

The MB used solid rear brakes from disc braked 100 & 200 models

The RR used vented rear brakes from the A8/S8, V8 and other models.

I've fitted a set of vented brakes from a V8 to the rear of my MB.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
