The calipers shown are Wilwood mechanicals made for go-karts, and it's easy to adapt stock Pantera cables to them. For my method, you simply shorten the cable jackets on the caliper ends by about 3/4" so there's enogh room for the Wilwood lever's travel. This is a 5-minute Dremel-job. I've been running these as legal e-brakes since late '97 (see article in POCA Newsletter Aug '98), and a few others have done the same. Pantera East has sold a kit for years (different from my rig) that includes mounting brackets, top-slider mounts, bolts & nuts along with a DeTomaso logo etched in the powder-coated calipers. His rig may not need the cable jacket cutting. He sells a similar assembly for Dodge Vipers (different logo). Last time I called P-East('09), it was $500 or so complete. Note their website is closed down but the phone works wonderfully well.
