Reply to "Pantera racing calipers"

Push 1267,

There have been several articles in past PI magazines on the Panteras built by Dan Suenson - who, based on the rest of his business at Aquila, obviously knows how to build mid-engine V8 powered race cars!

PI issue #118 has an interview with the drivers of the (3) Group 4 Panteras built by Dan including some interesting pictures and details of the Lockheed AP brakes. Great to see owners and builders in Europe going to such amazing efforts to re-create these cars to comply with FIA regs for historic racing.

It's obviously a huge expense to "re-create" the original brakes. Although I suspect, in some ways, the cars are built a bit beyond what was done back in the 70's.

BTW, based on your user-name, you might be interested in that same PI issue as it includes a nice article on an early push-button car here in the U.S.
