interchangable parts

[72 Stag]

I'm starting to realize that there is a paucity of part suppliers for Stags.  I know I am going to have to redo the brakes.  Do any of the brake parts interchange with the TR-6 or other easier to find marques?(sp?) Or, have you Stag owners found substitutable American parts? I would like to keep the wire wheels and knock-off center caps as they are pretty cool.

By the way...it would help to know just which side of the "pond" I am on when you "chaps" refer to location I don't know if I am here or there!  I do happen to realize that I am probably on the wrong side for easily accessed parts.

Thanks

Don't know about the brakes.

Wow! How did you find all that out...pretty impressive. I was looking in the 'how it was done' section and found someone in North Carolina that used the Trailing Arms from a TR6 and managed to keep the stag wheels. You can't contact members from that forum and it doesn't list his username. How might I contact??

I am fairly sure that the entire rear suspension out of a tr2000 and 2500 are interchangable  i am not sure about the brakes though. the stag  is a very comfortable car to drive. I a,m looking for  a replacment for the brake system that is cheeper and is compatable with rear disc brakes.
