Brakes, when searching for the rear disc brake calipers used on the 
Sebring 3000s  , these are standard Girling items,  I found that same 
basic caliper was made by Fiat to be fitted to their luxury 2300S 
model.  In this case they were single piston on the inside half and twin 
cylinder in the outer half with a hand brake mechanism fitted..  Similar 
calipers were fitted to Colin Chapmans Lotus Elite from the 50/60s.
So the message is , get it in good condition, adjust it correctly and 
maintain it regularly.  This may be as simple an act of lubrication and 
greasing as in;  generators, distributors, steering boxes, kingpin and 
drum brakes etc.
