Here is a picture of an original front suspension on a 427 Street Cobra. Notice the front caliper is cast iron--just like the rear. It is also a very strange 3 piston unit. Notice the rotor (hard to see in this photo) is solid--just like the rear rotors.

Finally, notice the hub cap is missing. If you are REALLY good you will also notice the funny golden color of the spindle in the photo. That is because Sandwich is faster than senor dumb fingers here at the keyboard. (Funny, I can play Chopin Nocturne 27.2 but keep hitting wrong keys as I type!) Anyway, Sandwich has already changed this side out. Oops! I just gave away the plot...

He just hasn't put the hub cap back on yet.
