Not at all.   These UK calipers are actually just standard Wilwood units 
that are modified in the UK, and the cable mechanically pulls on the brake 
pads.   I don't know how well it works.   The ones I just saw are much more 
professional; I believe the whole mechanism is internal, and the cable (which 
enters the back side of the caliper) actuates a piston which then uses the 
brake hydraulics to compress the pistons?   

I'll get more info!
