New model brakes on 67-68 Mustang
Hey there people,
I did a quick search on this forum and didn't fina anything, so here is my question. Has anyone done a front/rear brake conversion on their classic stang with sn95 or higher (99-04 specifically) disc brakes? I know that some companies specialize in making adapter plates so that these brake components from the 99-04 cobra's, mach 1's & Bullitt's can be used on our classics ( www.vintagevenom.com is one example ) all of them with 13" front rotors. I currently have a set of 2002 GT brakes, front.rear otors and calipers avaialble to me and was wondering what is necassary to make them work. I would still need the master cylinder and power brake booster (unless the sn95 setup uses something different) along with a few other misc parts. Does anyone know or have seen any write ups as to what is needed to do this conversion? If so, a link would be greatly appreciated. What would have to be done to make these work on a stock 67-68 spindle or would I have to get the sn95 or newer spindle adapted to my control arms/tie rods? How about the rear? How would they mate up to my small bearing 9" housing? Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I have not found much, yet I am sure the swap exists.
As for those of you wondering why do this conversion instead of a standard SSBC or Baer Brake system...my answer is why not. Those brakes work great (I have an 01 GT myself) and would be plenty stopping power for my application. The parts would be cheap for me to come by and would probably cost about half as much as the SSBC front disc swap kit and I would be getting both front and rear disc.
