I have a 1969 mustang and im getting granada front brakes. I found about three to choose from but i cant decide to get the one with all of the parts on it (the old ones of course) or to pay less and get just the spindles and backing plates and buy new tie rod ends and calipers. What would you go for, buying all new parts or wat? The first pic is the cheapest and the second is a little more and the third one is the most expensive.

 

You'll need rotors, bearings, seals, master cylinder, and calipers anyway, so get the one that basically has the spindle, backing plate, and caliper bracket. Everything else can be found at the parts store.

FYI, I don't know what you're going to wind up paying, but mine didn't total a whole lot less than a kit from Master Power Brakes. I just wanted the factory disc brake spindles and had the parts car.

 

Get one with calipers for the core charge. Calipers are easy to rebuild also you could do it yourself.

 

i would buy the 2nt

 

You can get all new parts in one kit for less than $500. This is the kit I am saving up for to get. It has all the parts you will need.

hey soaring, is it possible to get that kit from disc brake swap and make it power disc brakes ? What invovles making it power brakes ?


Thanks in advance

 

Not real sure about the power thing. I assume you just add a power booster, but maybe one of the smart guys will chime in here. We talked about this a few days ago. You can go to the FAQ section and find the Mustang Monthly Tech articles all at one site. Thumb through those articles to see if it is there.

Booster and pedal. The pedal for the manual brakes has a different mounting spot for the brake push rod that gives the driver a higher mechanical advantage. It will work, but will be sensitive.

 

How about a vacuum source for the booster Mike? Can he just take it off the manifold?

 

you said it would be less than 500$. I found it was 545$. And can you look back at the original question I posted and pick which one you would get.
