Default disc brakes swap

I need some help.
Ihave someone wanting tosell me acomplete front spindles and brakes off a Matador and he told me they would fit my 68 mustang.

Would someone please help me with this because I can not find anything on the web that states they will fit.



I have a complete 1995 mustang gt as a doner car for my 68 mustang.

give it some time.

see if you can find a relationsihp between the matador and the granada or other ford cars.


another way is go to autozone and ask for a granada spindle and a matador spindle, and see if the part number is the same
or compare them and see if you can tell the difference.

The Matador was AMC.AMC borrowedpartsfrom the other auto manufacturers, but I have no idea if they are the same as a Granada, Monarch, Torino, or late 60s Mustang. I would suggest passing on them and looking into after market spindles like TCP or going the traditional route with a Granada conversion.

Specializing in front disk brake swaps for those models of cars introduced in the 1960's that I may not mention or the company that made them will sue me.

um sorry for the OT post, but what is this supposed to mean? did something happen?

Just a bit of jest. Meaning"Mustang", the trademark that Ford has been jealously protecting in court.Mustang parts vendorshave beenthreatened with lawsuitsfor using the "Mustang" trademark in their names or business materials.
