[DeTomaso] headlight rings/brakes

I bet you are talking about the caliper from Hi-Spec, the same unit Goran is
putting on the Peder Pantera.
It's hydraulic actuation though.

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!
