70's Mazda 13B Cosmo, bad brakes, no parts support.
Looking for any and all options, companies that can overhaul, affordable retro fit success stories? I am all ears.
Otherwise this car is great, even has working AC, hate to see something like this take it down.

Have you tried www.Rockauto.com I just checked and there are brake pads, calipers and wheel bearings.

Was able to find everything accept the rear caliper over haul kit and drum e-brake parts inside the rotor. Any recommendations on a company to ship them off to for restoration?

Pads from rockauto fit, but the caliper overhaul kit did not.
Pulled apart the front caliper and took a bunch of measurements, someone at the parts store took the time to dig through all the the stock to find something close. Turns out the Mitsubitshi Colt has the same size OH kit. The car can stop now!
The rears are not leaking, so will leave well enough alone for now.

FYI- Adams rotors will not, does not, and has no plans to make Cosmo rotors.
Because of this madness, and the goofy 4x120 wheels, I am swapping the front uprights to GSL-SE, and modifying a GSL-SE rear axle as well. Front is a bolt in affair, rear is just stripping the factory GSL-SE tabs, and welding new ones to match the Cosmo attachment points.
While I'm in there, I am getting a one piece driveshaft made.
