[DeTomaso] GT5/5S brake calumets

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

XJ6 rear ends that I've seen on hot rods have not had ventilated rotors but
much thinner solid ones. Maybe there are differences between model years but
I'd look twice before buying XJ6 calipers. A Google picture search of "XJ6
rear caliper" confirms my theory.

Just out of curiosity, do the calipers themselves cross over to those cars?
  That is, if one wanted to put GT5 calipers on a car and didn't have a set
of GT5 calipers handy, could one shop for XJ6 rear calipers and Aston
Martin front calipers?   Or does the Pantera use different calipers that
happen
to use the same pads?
