Unanswered: B2 GTE - Competition brake upgrade?

I am thinking about building a Manta 400 replica, so I would be using 15" wheels, of my budget I can put about 1000-1500GBP toward upgrading the front and rear brakes, what should I be looking at getting?

There doesn't seem to be any off the shelf kits, do I need to do some fabrication?

I don't mind buying 2nd hand

This kind of info, you need to be talking to Rob Cassidy (rionart on this site) as he and our UK members know far more about the B series. We here in the US only got the A series Manta.
