'Gooses got a number of different brakes. Some had big aluminum Girlings on all 4 corners same as 427 Shelby Cobras. Others got similar iron calipers. One '69 Mangusta belonging to a friend had iron calipers and tiny 9" OD solid discs in the rear! One owner said he thought 'DeTomaso used whatever he could find to get cars out the door!'

So don't worry too much about 'concours-correct'; no one now alive knows what was actually- stock 55 yrs ago. DeTomaso wasn't much for paperwork or records. Now, if you want to actually drive the thing semi-hard, find some aluminum Girlings & be prepared for the price! Make new top links with double heims for the rear suspension and check the front subframes for stress cracks.
