11.75x1.25 with an 8 x 7" base circle is an excellent size. Common in oval track racing, there are a huge number of excellent rotors available, including floating rotor designs.

However, the caliper looks like the Outlaw caliper, with the two halfs held together by some tubes around the bolts. For the forces generated on asphalt (and aren't all Cobras and GT40s asphalt cars), that tends to have too much flex. Does the caliper have a 3.5", 5.25", or radial mounting? A bracket to allow 3.5" mounts (again, common in circle track racing) calipers would allow a huge selection of pieces, with fine tuning of piston sizes, and a wide variety of relatively inexpensive Superlite size pads.

That is incorrect. They are outlaw style calipers made by another company but, these calipers are perfect for the wieght and performance of a GT40 or Cobra and are used in NASCAR Winston Cup, NASCAR Trucks, SCCA, IMSA and ARCA to name a few. Here is a link to another company that sells the same type of product we use, read the features:

There has been a lot of time and money put into the design of these pin-drives and other parts that will be arriving shortly. They are easy to use, maintain and service, not to mention a great value. That is why we choose these calipers.
