Question for Bosswrench, since you have seen a couple of Gp-3 cars in person, are these iron Maserati calipers the same ones that you saw on the Panteras?

Very similar. I'm hedging because Girling made many variations of their calipers front & rear. Some are alloy and some are iron but all use the pair-of-pliers style e-brake. All the Euro GTS/GR-3s and the GT-5/5S used iron 3-piston calipers (from a Rolls-Royce, modified) while the GR-4/GT-4s used aluminum 4-pistons, as did big-block Cobras. Alloy Girlings are also found on some Mangustas. But I know of one Goose with tiny iron 3-piston Girling rear calipers on 9" solid rotors. It also uses the same style e-brake. Those assemblies are off some model of Fiat.
