    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Because it is good engineering to make a disc specific spindle. Having the mount cast in eliminates the adapters brackets common to all of the choices currently using 70 type drum spindles. If a user wants to mount the 13" PBR system, an adapter can be made.

    Disk brake kits

    Thanks for the support guys. I appreciate the kind words. For those of you wanting to retain the original wheels, I will soon offer the SWAP.1 kit. It is identical to the original KH type 65-67 system (the same kit mentioned above from Chockostang for $750 + $50 for master cylinder). It will...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    I regret this project is taking so long. I'm working on revising the first prototype. The foundry really made a mess of the first casting. I've decided to integrate the caliper mount into the spindle. It will mount, without addition brackets, the KH type 4 piston caliper and my offering of the...

    Overhaulin at SEMA

    As of Friday night at 7 pm the car was nearly complete. It still needed the interior and some trim installed. I had hoped the car would be completed before the SEMA show was over (at 5 pm friday). Chris and Courtney were there kindly working the crowd. They did start the engine. The 302 crate...

    Overhaulin at SEMA

    Saw the car again today. Quite a lot of mods. Went from 4 door to 2 door, removed the top and closed off the resulting scars, cleaned up the firewall with metal work, top coat is olive on light green. Looks like it needs a good bit of color sanding or buffing. There is a parts car off to the...

    Overhaulin at SEMA

    The "Overhaulin" crew are working on a 53-55 Mercury (I think). They have shaved the headlight buckets and all the door handles. Chopped the top off and made it into a Roadster. It was in final primer last evening and will probably have been painted last night. I'll report more later. Sorry, no...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    SEMA starts Tuesday. I actually come here for AAPEX, the OEM parts oriented show that runs at the same time. I go to SEMA to see the restoration section and the "Overhaulin" production.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    I've considered making the steering arm removable. I may revisit the idea. BTW, I have limited ability to answer email right now. I'm in Vegas and have to go to the Krispy Kreme downstairs from my Hotel to get an Internet connection .

    Power brake booster conversion

    I stock a lot of parts and kit systems not offered at my site. I do have a power disc upgrades for 65-66 automatic trans cars, and for 67-70 cars. The 67-70 kit uses a new Bendix booster (the same type used originally). The 67-70 kit comes with a power pedal (manual trans user are required to...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Alloy steel. The yield strength is better than the original 70-73 spindle's material, and elongation is comparable.

    The first prototype is being shipped to me right now! I'll be off to SEMA/AAPEX later this week, so if it dosen't arrive by Friday, I won't see it for a week.

    Proper adjustable rods are available at popular Mustang parts vendors or on eBay.

    coolant leak under glove box....

    One of my many bad driving experiences while driving my 66 couple over bridges or causeways during the 70's was a sudden heater core leak of fluid and steam into the interior of the car. This happened on the 10+ mile long San Mateo-Hayward bridge near San Francisco. I had to continue driving a...

    65-67 KH type disc brake parts

    As said before, less than $500. I won't be offering stainless steel pistons since they would cost about as much as the rest of the caliper assembly. Nickel/Chromium plating is good enough. The new calipers available on eBay also have plated pistons.

    65-67 KH type disc brake parts

    $500 is too expensive. The big guys use a business model that can not be sustained. They rely on "dealers" to sell their products. They are forced to market the product in order to inflate its perceived value to a point that both they and the dealers can charge a price that generates enough...

    65-67 KH type disc brake parts

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have eventual plans for a second generation product. This first generation product (the stock KH type caliper) is intended to address the market segment that wants to use original wheels and/or OE design on their 65-67. The KH repro kits currently offered are...

    I'll look into it.

    65-67 KH type disc brake parts

    Yes, I considered casting them from aluminum, but they would cost quite a bit more. My primary focus is daily drivers, so economic performance comes first.

    65-67 KH type disc brake parts

    More prototypes to report on. Here are production prototypes of one of CSRP's projects, KH type front disc brakes for 65-67 Mustang/Failane/Falcon. I plan to have a full system available by the end of the year.
