David ,
I'm certainly not a brake expert/engineer but I would not want brakes on my Bristols to lock on a dry road .
Imagine what would happen on a wet road if you had to brake suddenly while going through a corner . It could be a disaster .
Years ago I had a 411S1 with standard brakes in good condition . They worked very well for normal road use . Pressing the pedal half way gave average to good braking, then pressing harder really pulled the car up , with no fuss or lockup.
It gave good feel and was not over assisted.
Drive carefully !!!!!!!!!
Geoff
