The price is right, thats for sure.
It may involve getting extra parts like brackets and master cylinder if you are going from drum/drum to disc/drum...

The ad is really vague and photos would help a lot. FWIW, I just finished installing the 08 GT front disc kit from Mustang Steve on my 68 and so far, I am happy. But I have spent close to $1000 on everything....had to buy some tools and a couple trips to the machine shop... Could be much worse but its a lot more than $100.

I am finding it to be true... everything with these cars will cost at least twice as much and take twice as long as you plan.

haha gotcha.
since we are on the topic of craigslist and will they fit parts, I found a clutch linkage set from 66 ranchero. Will this fit my 65 mustang? The guy is asking 100 dollars and here is a picture.




as some of you guys may know im doing the t-5 swap, but i ran into a problem.As i was doing the swapIfound out i have a 5 bolt pattern block, which means i cannot use the later model bell housing. Im going to try and figure out a way to fabricate the early flywheel to accept a cable clutch, but if not possible ill have to obviously use linkages. So do you guys think they will fit my car? thanks
