I'm working on a disk brake swap on the old 68 FB. I plan on keeping the manual brakes for now. I have a booster, but no pedal or master. I've been searching and reading what I can on different sites, but I would like to know what some Mustang owners here thought about the swap themselves. The "Do's and Don'ts" of a classic Mustang front disk brake swap.

Parts I've collected and misc:
Disk Brake Spindles with full brakes
New rotors
New Master Cylinder
SS softlines
New brake seals
Repacked bearings
New Hardware Kit
Adjustable proportional valve

Need:
Hardlines from engine compartment to softlines - Local Parts store
Install new master
Install Proportional valve?
Brake lines misc? (I need some advice in this area)

Any help would be greatly appreciated on the routing of the brakelines!

Thanks - Matt

 

I did the swap some time ago, the only issue was the hard lines, had to replace them all. i purchased the tubing and fittings needed, purchased a "Quality bender" and had some on flair what was needed. everything went together perfectly. depending what spindles you purchased you my need new tie rod ends. Looks like your swap is coming along nicely.

 

mustangs unlimited sells full hard line kits in regular and stainless. they are a dream to use mine went right on and they are resonably priced.

 

I purchased a kit for diskbrakesswap. I had it installed in six hours including redoing the rear drums. She stops like a dream now.
