For performance! Actually cause the thickness matched the wilwood caliper, but I’ll take the vents.

funny, I always thought that the parking brake was one of the few things on the defender that was well designed lol.... never understood why people switched to x-brakes... i tried retro fitting disk style operation by wire parking brakes on a toy and had nothing but trouble with it. It would hold when everything was warm but lost braking when it cooled down... not so good for a manual transmission...
