Reply to "Installing Brake Kit"

I checked Hall's catalog photos many times, and Precision Proformance and PI Motorsports and all the pictures I could find. It's got to be one of theirs, but the caliper design is different. I had ordered Wilwood Dyna-Lites just a week before the opportunity to get the Pantera vendor kit arose, so those are on my work bench for comparison purposes. The Dyna-Lites are much, much lighter. The DeTomaso calipers are really cool looking, and I think they are Wilwood Super-Lites. The brackets go with the kit,and the Dyna-Lites have different mounting hole distances, so I can't use the Dyna-Lites without making new brackets, so they'll get returned. That doesn't make sense for Wilwwod to change hole spacing distances from Super-Lites to Dyna-Lites, so maybe what I got are "used" Corvette brakes that a Pantera vendor offered? The brake pads are different than the new pads just received with the Dyna-Lites too. Maybe they are Corvette calipers, Hall puts out several brake upgrade kits.... Anyway, Jim, from this BB, sent me photos, and he cc'd you too, Coz. Those were exactly the pictures I need to solve the puzzle. Thanks Jim, you're a true enthusiast, very experienced and informed, I always appreciate your help. Wish you could hook up with your buddies and go to Vegas too, but I'm sure you'll be peeling the treads off those Hoosiers on tracks closer to where you live very soon. I hope so, got to have a blast once in a while.
