- The brakes are offered as a kit by BCL. They bolt-in (i'm told) to all 8 cylinder cars, and are modern AP racing type. They call it "15" Big Brake Kit" and charged GBP 2'500 ex VAT in 2014

- The wheel dimensions are the following:
15" rims
7" wide
PCD is 5 X 4.75"
Offset (ET) is 30
(there are a lot of other measurements needed to make the custom wheels)

- The source of the wheels is a machine shop in California specialising in Porsche wheel called HRBB. (Alloy Replicas | The leader in aluminum reproduction wheels for a wide range of applications. Specializing in Porsche 550 Spyder Wheels and Porsche 356 Speedster Wheels). They now have the engineering drawings for the Bristol, so I'm fairly sure they could reproduce them if anyone was interested. Here are the four wheels in polished state, before they were dulled to mat.
