Default Granada brake swap question

Anyone who has done the granada disk brake swap???? I am currently using the front disk brake spindles from a 78 granada on my 68 mustang. My question is, will I have to buy granada outer tie rod ends or will mustang tie rod ends work ok? I already have a complete new tie rod kit that is for the 68 mustang. Another silly question seeing as I am new to this. With the new brake hoses also being from a granada caliper, will the mustang brake line fittings still be the same and fit this hose. Any other unique things that I should also expect from this swap????? Thanks for the help...

I bought new tie rod ends for mine. They were only about 12 dollars apiece and I figured why not while they were off anyway. I bought the ones for granada, but my old ones for the Mustang looked exactly the same. I dont really know though???? My steel brake lines screwed into the Granada hoses. You do have to turn them the other way though.

With a 68 you should be fine with the Granada tie rod ends.

On the earlier cars I think the diameter is smaller so you have to re-use some of the Mustang bits.
