[V8] G60 brakes

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Ron,

No, I meant the UrS4 G60 brake setup (calipers and rotors) plus the UrS4
uprights were used for the upgrade.

Dude, it's been over 20 years since I remember us doing the conversions at
the dealer.

Haven't needed to do so since and not sure I'm going to do so on 5 speed #2
(which still has UFOs).  :P
