Question Disc brakes on 68

I just bought my "new" 68 Mustang with drum brakes. The guy I bought it from said to save money and buy the disc brake set up off a 75 Granada. Will these work?

Yes they should work fine. There are also mustangs in your year that had disk brakes but those set ups will cost more usually. Many different ways to go for disk brake conversions on these cars, check around online and you'll find a lot of info.

You won't find many Granada's which still have their disc brakes.50 years of Mustang owners pulling their brakes have left very few. If you do find one, you will need some adapters since the taper on the drag links are different.

You can also use the Kelsey Hays adapter bracket and attach calipers directly to your drum brake spindles. Check our Cobra Restorers or Stainless Steel Brakes. Remember upgrading to discs will usually mean upgrading your wheels as well. Drum brake steel wheels do not fit discs.
