Right you are. I just fit a 65-67 rotor to a 70 type drum spindle by using a 70 type inner bearing. Of course, the 65-67 bracket fits, so the 4 pot caliper and its shield should fit as well.
I'm not sure many will want to use the early model 4 piston caliper on 68-73 cars, but choice is good, and I appreciate the advice and suggestions.
hi Dennis, just checking to see how this project is progressing. i've almost got the mustang done and i've already bought the cougar project car that will replace it and will be getting the drop spindles and disc brake conversion. once i get the mustang sold i'll be ready to get the cougar project started and the brakes and spindles will be one of the first projects to get done.
I have a lot of projects in development. I have nearly wrapped up the 68-73 type front brake kit. I have all the parts but the hoses and hardware in hand. Those are due in August. The design and logistics are complete for a KH type 65-66 kit. It is in production now. The drop spindles are being modeled now. In addition, I have been very busy keeping up with developing my business infrastructure. It's hard doing everything myself.
I have made a couple of design and marketing decisions. I have decided it is impractical to produce a steering arm with the original and R&P tie rod mounting holes. A R&P type may follow. The target drop is 1.5". It may be reduced a little if the original spindle has interference issues (original 70-73 type rotor).

Wouldn't this include 67 as well ?
A prototype of the Mustang 1.5" drop spindle is nearly complete. I will post pics when I get them.
BTW, I am now also working on a one piece bracket to fit PBR 2 piston calipers on Granada and Mustang drum spindles.
Degins,
Is the proto drop spindle disc or drum?
I am excited. One question. If I'm using the K/H 4 piston setup can I just change the bearings in the hub to fit the spindle pin ?

we have a little something up our sleeves for the classic stang.
not a drop spindle, a PERFORMANCE drop spindle built with race strength in mind.
a few hints!
FULL 4130 construction
MASSIVE gains in suspension geometry performance.
1 5/8" drop.
soon, very soon!
