I did the standard to ERA outboard swap on #755 and big front brakes as well. All parts came from ERA. It was pricey.

The swap is pretty easy. Setting bearing preload on the hubs is a bit challenging, if you have never worked on a Jag rear. I'm sure ERA would do that for you if it concerns you.

I did recover some of the costs by selling the old ERA rear, front hubs and brakes to a guy that was building a new ERA.

As others have said the standard brakes are plenty large and designed for cars that weigh much more than your Cobra. The fancy ERA parts are for cool factor or racing.
