Exactly. Increasing the diameter gave a significant increase in braking power for the extra 2 to 300# of the wagon. When my Mrs was driving my wagon back in the day I could not keep front rotors on it. She does not coast up to the stops like I do. An early 126 front ventilated rotor conversion would have been a good choice.
