Default Brake Conversion Question

Anyone who has done a Granada disc brake swap have a suggestion on this. I am putting the spindles, power booster, and discs on my 68 mustang. I noticed that the power booster has 4 bolts going through the firewall. Is there a template or suggestion for drilling the holes? As they say in cutting, measure twice and cut once. I just want to know if there is a more easy way to install this? Also, I understand that I may also need a brake line conversion kit from the hose to the brake line if I am using Granada calipers as well. Who has the best prices on these? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can't help you with the booster issue, but click on my website and go to "Granada Disks" for info on the front lines.

JamesW, thanks. Good site with lots of information for me. I think I am not going to use the power booster from the Granada but rather go purchase the new M/C you mentioned. That way I have no redrilling at all and can use the stock holes. I took the proportioning valve off the Granada so this should still work with the new M/C.

Thanks again for the help.
