Just a teaser

I have a 4 wheel disc brake swap that i am getting ready to go on my car along with a 8" 4 lug maverick rear axle dressed as seen in the pic i just finished bending and flaring the hard lines and tightened everything up. need to get a 66 mustang equalizer bar so i can use the one piece parking brake cable they sent me so that should be going in tomorrow and i might be able to start on the fronts more pic to come.

also if you are thinking rear disc brakes its a no go with the stock 65 rims need the later ones from maverick or comet with less backspacing.

this is the front they are 10.25 inch rotors and will fit the stock 65 mustang rims they are the same rotors that ssbc uses in their kit.

This is the rear 10.25 inch rotors. both rotors and calipers can be had from a 93 mustang or 88-87 thunderbird with rear disc brakes Rotors will have to be redrilled to fit the 4x4.5 bolt pattern if you do this swap you will need to run the maverick wheels you may have to grind the caliper down a bit i have done this and they now fit but i want a little more space so im going to use 1/4 spacers you should install longer wheel studs as with the rotors put on, the lug nuts are at the end of the thread.
