I am wondering if anyone has experience with mounting a parking brake kit on the front 'ears' of the rear axel carrier.

Tim, yes... no problem but you may need longer cables. The PB calipers in the photo are made by Stop Tech.

If I were doing it all over and wanted to use cable actuated PB calipers, I'd probably use Hi-Spec calipers, as Julian suggested. Also, I've always thought Dodge SRT10 Viper (Brembo) PB calipers would work well on the Pantera. These are the same PB calipers that Ferrari and Lamborghini use but at a fraction of the price. What I like about that caliper is the cable pulls perpendicular to the caliper (like the Pantera's OEM PB caliper), which allows for better cable routing.
