Reply to "bolt on brake kits"

None of the hot-rod 'kits' will bolt onto the Pantera. To do this yourself, you'll need to fabricate a custom bracket for each wheel, adapt U.S. fittings to your Euro bubble-flair hard lines and choose a pad composition for the calipers. The stock sized 0.810" thick rotors (either solid or vented) will work fine around town but for track events or spirited romps in the mountains, thicker 1.25" thick rotors are needed for their higher heat capacity & warp resistance. A stock master cylinder & booster will work, but is getting rather old at 30 yrs. Be ready to have it let go at any time. There are no rebuild kits available. I'd really suggest you look into the upgraded brake kits the Pantera vendors have already devised. There are kits using Wilwood & Sierra calipers and late Corvette, with both wide and narrow vented rotors. Unless you're a skilled machinest and have experience in modifying brakes, you and your Pantera can wind up under a truck somewhere doing this stuff.
