[DeTomaso] JFE brakes ? Brembo brakes

[Ken Green]

Pat,
 
    Was it JFE or JFZ?  Sierra Racing appears to have some relation to JFZ.

Did anyone hear about a calipers manufacturers by the name of JFE ?
Those brakes ( good looking GR4 style calipers and rotors) are on my 4208 
car. I assume these were installed on the car in the early 90's , when the 
car was racing in GR3 trim in the USA.  I am looking for spares to have them 
rebuilt ( gaskets, pistons, ...) .
My brake shop is desperately looking for spares, and he has apparently 
located a dealer in the USA, who seems not to answer, despite repeated 
attempts.
Initially, it seems that JFE was an Australian manufacturer, who was bought 
over by a US company, and then ??? mystery.
Also, has anyone converted a Pantera with ventilated Brembo floating disks 
and calipers ( on 15 or 16" wheels ) ? Ventilated Brembo brakes ( similar to 
Porsche 930 Turbo ) are FIA approved , and they most probably are better 
than original factory GR4 Girling and Lockheed brakes !

Many thanks
