Hello Ben - welcome to the Pantera family! I replaced the stock Girling brakes on my ‘74 L with a complete Wilwood system from Scott Bell at SACC Restorations (https://www.saccrestorations.net/). Scott’s kits are thorough and come with complete step-by-step instructions. Many of his brake kits retain the rear Girling calipers as dedicated parking brake calipers. As the stock parking brake handle can be a pain to reach (and rather ineffective) I installed an E-Stopp actuator, which works like a champ! Have fun with the Pantera!!!

I tried joining the PI forum several weeks ago, and have been waiting for administrator approval. Can anyone provide insight on that as to why it still hasn’t been approved? I’m currently trying to diagnose an AC problem and I’m on the verge of getting figured out. I’m also interested In drive ability upgrades, possibly chassis bracing, and brake pads with a better bite in on cold rotors for the aftermarket wilwoods on the car.
