Reply to "Rebuilding stock front calipers"

All four seem to be the same piston size? If I am understanding this correctly? There are four? Front and back?

What is the approximate piston sizes? 48mm? 50mm?

These bolt into the Pantera with no adapters?

Do you know what the part number is for the brake pads they take? I don't recognize them right off the bat? The "Big" Ford's don't have that retaining pin right in the middle but they might take the Girling "Cobra/GT40" pads? Those use the quick change pins like that I think?

They have no provision for using a dust shield on the pistons? Probably should be high temp powder coated to reduce the pitting in the aluminum castings?


Do you know what each weigh?

Stainless Steel Brakes sleeves these things with stainless sleeves and puts stainless pistons in them. Have they been done?

Not cheap at all to do. Probably $600 right there. Lots of work to do to them. These were on many '70s race cars. I used to see them all over on the race cars. They all seemed to have disappeared.

I would PRESUME that they are vintage racing legal now but I'm not positive about that. You have to check your rules handbook.
