    Mustang Drop Spindles

    prototype casting As you can see, we've made a little progress. This is the rough casting cut from the sprue. The extra runners are there to assure a complete cast.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    The prototype is being machined. I can't hurry my vendors since this is not a high dollar project. The PBR bracket is fit to a Granada spindle and uses 2 piston PBRs.

    SN95 caliper brackets for Granada spindle

    I didn't mean to imply that the 2 piston PBR is out for the that application.

    SN95 caliper brackets for Granada spindle

    I concur. I suspect that if I pursue the use of the cobra caliper, it will be more likely that I employ it on the drop spindle. Below, I have posted a pic of the modified bracket alongside the original.

    SN95 caliper brackets for Granada spindle

    I will take a look at several caliper possibilities for use with the drop spindle. The 2 pot PBR bracket looks like it will be a challenging design . I'll take a look at the Cobra caliper and 13" rotor.

    SN95 caliper brackets for Granada spindle

    I hope to have samples within 4 months. I will post when they are available. Volunteers will be provided brackets and perhaps hoses. They must already have Granada type spindles installed, and provide their own calipers and pads.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    The drop will be 1.25-1.5". It will be based on the 70-73 spindle. It is not my aim to necessarily make the spindle work with existing brake kits, but you may be certain I will have a kit that will use either KH type, or the 2 piston or Cobra PBR calipers.

    I intend to do so.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    As you know, the pin is smaller on 68-69, but 68-73 disc spindles (knuckles) are otherwise IDENTICAL except as noted. The SN95 bracket's upper mount hole could be altered. I could PERHAPS persued my machining producer to make a few for 68-73 spindle type.

    Sounds good, I'll contact you when the arrival of the prototypes are imminent. Dennis

    Two differences. The tie rod mount hole is larger on Granada, and the upper caliper bracket mount hole is 9/16" on 68-73 spindle vs 1/2" on Granada.

    SN95 caliper brackets for Granada spindle

    Pics as promised. I just completed a set of mock up brackets for SN95 2 piston PBRs onto Granada spindles. They will bolt up just like the Granada bracket using 2 bolts only, no adapters. I will send these off for modeling and prototyping. They should be available in a few months, but will...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Thanks guys, I think I did misspeak. I should have said that you can use the 65-67 type KH bracket, caliper, and rotors on 70-73 drum spindles, if you use 70-73 type bearings. BTW, I completed one side's bracket modification to use 99-2002 type 2 piston PBR calipers with Granada type...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    WOW! My response to this guy was amicable. I don't need enemies or bad feelings. That said, I am amazed by Jason’s postings. I do not recall communicating with a guy named LOUIE DIETZ, and I don't really care what is pronounced upon by the experts at Corner Carvers. I have said over and over...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    bnickel, Competition is good for all of us, I welcome it, although I am confused by the ambiguous claims. Jason, With all due respect, and I'm don't intend to commence a pissing match, I'm not sure what the distinction is between a spindle and a "performance spindle". If it has to do with...

    You would be able to use the KH calipers and brackets if you use 70-73 type bearings and rotors.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    It is based upon the large pin 70-73 Mustang drum spindle. There will eventually be a number of compatible caliper brackets available.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Drop spindle prototypes are finally on the way 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.
