Can anyone identify this brand of front brake?Attached Image or what it might be from - the use of a PORSCHE makes me doubt it is a Porsche one.

These are my Wilwoods, not quite the same. But mine are old.

I don't think they are Wilwood.

Could possibly SSBC from the mid-1980's. Look on the back side for a part number or pull the Porsche sticker off and see what's underneath.

You could also pull the brake pads and see if they have a part number on them and see what calipers they fit.

Looks like Alcon calipers to me.

The local expert has not jumped in. I’d pm or call Eric Shea at PMB. Link below.
