As I am a were there are two types of calliper a "type 14" and a "type16".
The type 16 has a bigger pistons and pads so I will use these along with a remote servo.
This off-course might change to a dual line system with built-in servo, I'll just wait and see how the original Triumph brakes perform.
You must remember that this car, when finished, will be less than half the weight of the original so this small up-grade should make a sizable difference.
