Far as I know the brakes are pretty much the same on 140 and 164, and they
are more than adequate in my experience. I've been driving a 69 164
since I bought it used in 1971, and even with one path nonfunctional they
stopped well. The biggest weak point is not the rotors, it is the small
size of the rubber lines and the fact that they swell shut making them
act like a check valve (they apply fine but don't fully release).
