Default brake conversions

Hey y'all!

I have a question about my brake system setup on my 67 Coope'.

I have it about all apart, been collecting parts for putting it back together. The car came to me with stock rear drums and a front disk conversion that uses a chevy bazer front caliper set. I recently acquired a rear disk assembly from an original 67 and I plan to install it.

What kind of issues might I expect to have when setting up the system with these rear brakes?

Original 67 Mustangs were never equipped with rear disc brakes. What can you tell us about these new parts?

Well,

I bought it not knowing any better, guess I'll have to see how it goes.

I'll try to get a pic on here in the next couple of days. The unit has a disk surrounding a small brake drum assembly, which is the parking brake. the P-brake has small shoes amd a very thin lining. The disk is solid.

I like your signature line, James!
