You are correct as to the upgrade to the Big front brakes being 11.25 inch diameter rotors. I just wanted to explain to the brickboard's RWD Forum reader's that this is a simple and inexpensive upgrade. There are many older 700s in service with the original 10.25 inch diameter front rotors. I have seen the 10.25 inch diameter front rotors installed through the 1990 model year.

A 1987 760T would have originally had the one piece hub and rotor of 10.25 inch diameter. The calipers were probably Bendix, which seems to be found on most early 760s, while the Girling are found more on the 740s (some 740s are Bendix).
