http://www.discbrakeswap.com
http://www.scarebird.com/ (uses a mixture of junkyard parts)
http://www.vintagevenom.com/front-di...ersion-kit.htm (you'd have to buy sn95 discs from a junkyard or new)

there is one other that i can't remember that sells the granada swap parts - spindles and everything.

Just one point of clarity here. Original style discs don't use a hub. The rotor is machined to accept the races, bearings, and seal. There are kits out there that allow you to use newer Mustang discs and calipers with vintage five lug drum brake hubs. Mustang Steve for one sells brackets and hardware that allow you to do this.

I have his kit and for less than $1,000 I'll convert my 67 convertible to four wheel 2001 Cobra R disc brakes. That includes the brackets, hardware, 13" front discs, 11.65 rear discs, four red powder coated Cobra calipers, master cylinder, booster, and p-valve. I got the 5 lug drum hubs from TonyR on this site for the price of shipping and they slide right on to 67/68 drum spindles. Many people convert their v8 drum car to discs and don't need the hubs. If you want to go this way, just ask around.

hm, thanks for that info i did not know that the stock style discs didnt use a hub, so the kit from discbrakeswap.com is the original style and i wont need a hub anyways, and for the price it seems like a great value and will work perfect for what i will be using the car for

Default 1968 drum to 2005-10 Mustang Disc conversion

New 65-67...5 bolt hubs can also be bought from JOHN'S MUSTANG also but still cost about $70.00 each. These hubs will fit a 68 drum car fine. MustangSteve, www.mustangsteve.com has a kit for 1965-73 Mustang that uses 2005-2009 Mustang GT rotors and 2 piston calipers, which are readily available and cheap. The brackets only are $240.00 and you supply the calipers,rotors,and hoses. The advantage is the Mustang rotors are 12-1/2" dia.which is larger than most kits. This setup will probably require 17" or larger Wheels. Steve also carries brackets for the 13" Mustang Cobra brakes which are available on Ebay. Hubert
