[DeTomaso] Pantera - Brakes

[Mike Thomas]

On the bleed I would add using either a pressure bleed device, or take it to
your local tire shop and have them to a top-down pressure bleed.  With the
double bleed nipples in front, it's very difficult to get them thoroughly
bled, and those brakes do most of your stopping.

Dear Rick,

The best bang for the buck for the first big step up from the bone stock
system in my personal experience is to:
Replace the master cylinder with the aftermarket replacement from Pantera
Performance Center Use braided stainless steel brake lines Upgrade to modern
brake pads Flush the brake fluid thoroughly Consider a caliper rebuild if
needed

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
