Default Disk conversion

This lovely '66 coupe spent 40 of its 42 years in sunny California until it came to Canada. I've only had it for a few weeks. Not exactly greener pastures for her but she'll never see a winter.

I'm sort of starting from scratch and was wondering what a good source would be for a front disc conversion kit. I'mtold I should have a dual line master cylinder and maybe a power booster while I'm atit. I do have a US address soI wouldn't ahve to ship cross-border.

Pat.

I recommend discbrakeswap.com and PM Daze on this site if you're interested in it. He's a reseller and can hook you up.

I haven't installed mine yet but the instructions are great and the parts are high quality. I'll be starting on mine soon.

I second that. I'm probably going to pick up the Kelsey-Hayes style kit from Daze this week. Great value, OE-style parts, and I've heard support is very good.

Concur. The Discbrakeswap.com is a Granada style single piston setup using standard parts from the mid 70s. The spindle has been specially designed and cast to readjust the lower tie rod location correct to the Mustang. A great value for the product.

If you're planning on going with 17" wheels, there are other options for larger discs, such as Mustangsteve.com

James, CSRP now offers a 65-67 OE style 4-piston setup which uses the factory spindles. This is the kit I'm buying. They also offer a 68-73 Mustang-based kit.
