Wilkinson sells factory vented rear rotors. I found out doing my research that t
hey are a very unique size so they are your only option. They are very expensive
but the only game in town.
I MAY be able to get you a couple of sets of non-slotted front rotors like the o
nes you bought from me, and you could sell the slotted set. I have a waiting lis
t of buyers for the ones I had produced. If interested let me know and I will wo
rk on it.

So, we confirmed this weekend running in the Oregon SCCA Vintage
group
at PIR, that the original Pantera brakes are indeed lacking.A Aside
from brake issues, Asa Jay's old car ran well.A
The issue is that I am required to run the stock front and rear
calipers if I want the car to be "dated" under the FIA Group 3 rules
as
of "1973." A As best I can tell (and maybe I am wrong), the "big"
calipers were not approved in Group 3 until 1974.A However, it also
appears, as best I can tell, that the 1973 FIA Group 3 rules allowed
vented front and rear rotors in place of the original non-vented
rotors.A Unfortunately, slotted rotors are not allowed.A
I happily just bought two sets of Mike Drew's recently sourced
vented/slotted rotors, which I will run on the front for now.A
Except
for snooty events, there will be no issues doing so.A But, I have a
few questions for the experts here about some longer term concerns:
1. I eventually need to find vented but non-slotted front and rear
rotors for the Pantera, as close as possible to what was run in the
FIA Group 3 in 1973.A Any ideas on where to find vented front and
rear rotors that are equivalent to the 1973 FIA Group s rotors?
2. I would like something improved in place of the stock rear rotors
while I am sourcing the proper vented rotors circa 1973.A Any
ideas?
3. What are the best race front and rear pads to run in the original
calipers, and where do we get them?A I am guessing Porterfield?
Also, I want to again thank all those that tried to help us out last
weekend when the Booster failed.A
