I have a 67 that was manufactured in San Jose in July. Does this qualify it as a a late model? What are the other distinguishing factors for a late and early model? Trying to figure out the proper brake lines to buy the new granada front disc swap.

 

July is very late.

Don't get the Granada brakes, get the original type. They are superior to the Granada, and the cost isn't so bad, considering the OE is a lot less work, since you don't have to change the spindles or replace the outer tie rod ends, and because of that, you don't have to shell out $100 to get a wheel alignment afterward.

 

So you are suggesting to put on 1970-73 spindles, rotors, tie rod ends, and calipers instead of a Granada swap? My understanding is the calipers on the 70-73 Mustangs are basically the same as the Granada. I have looked for 67-69 spindle but cannot find them, so I have done nothing with my Granada front discs on my 69.

 

For the hard lines specifically, the difference is the routinh on the fire wall. I am not sure which is which, but one runs under the steering column and the other runs over. See where your line runs and then tell the vendor. They should know. I got new lines from classic tube and they helped me determine which one I had, early or late. If you are in July 67 though, I would think that would be considered late production.

Good luck.

 

If I remember correctly the line between early and late is like February or March. July should be late. But check with the vendor. When I got my brake lines from MU the date was in the catalog.

 

+1.

Back then all the new models came out in early September. The factories had to gear up for the new models production so a car manufactured in July was in fact a very late unit.

 

I Believe what 2+2 is stating, is to install the 4 Piston Disc Brakes on 67 newb Mustang.

All 67 Mustangs have the same spindle (C6OA), 4 piston Disc brakes, Factory Assembly Line correct, will bolt on perfect, without changing spindles, alignment, etc, and are BIGGER rotors than the Granada Brakes.

65 66 V8 Mustangs will also Bolt on the 4 Piston Setup, No spindle chjange.

Plus stock 4 Piston Per Calipers are without question better than the smaller Granada pieces.

urban_cowboys question of the Granada being same as Mustang brakes. No, that is a rumor that got stated, repeated to where folks get confused.

There is not one Piece of the Mustang Disc Brakes, 68-73 that will fit the Granada Brakes, Nothing, Brackets, Calipers, Rotors, Hardware, Nothing.

Granada brakes are smaller, require tie rod modifications, Wheel manipulation from stock, and bump steer on a 65 66 unless they are AGAIN, Manipulated.

I already have the csrp front disc swap installed and ready.

I was considering buying the preformed brake lines from California Muscle Parts.

It seems like even if I buy the preformed brake lines, I'll still need to do a little bending and adjusting here and there. Any tips or tools used for avoiding kinks?
