    Disc Brake recommendations for '65 cruiser

    LMan, I could offer this kit for $250 and still have many people exclaiming that they could find the same thing on a junkyard Granada for $200, or could install Scarebird for ... I am pleased to be able to make the purchase a little easier to those at the core of our hobby. I intend to end...

    Front Disc Brake Kit Winter Special

    Disc/drum type MCs are different in two ways from drum/drum MCs. On a disc/drum MC the rear reservoir (for the front brakes) is larger to accomodate the larger fluid requirement of the front brake's calipers and it doesn't have a residual pressure valve. If your question is leading to if...

    Front Disc Brake Kit Winter Special

    Yes, until December 15. Dennis Randy'65 I choose for safety reasons not to sell a kit with a single reservoir master cylinder. Unless you install a KH clone, originality is not an issue.

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Some of you have participated in the earlier thread discussing a drop spindle for our Mustangs. I have bought a couple of pair of D0 drum spindles and am ready to start the evaluation and design. I want some input on a few issues. For that person(s) who will inevitably post about your...

    falcons in the Ukraine (close enough to Mustang)

    I watched a TIVO of Sunday's episode of Amazing Race. The conmtestants were in the Ukraine. Several were driving 60's period Falcons. One of them looked like a 63 Sprint model. Very interesting. Does anyone know if these are Ford spec production or Russian knock-offs?

    Good front drum to disc conversion kits....

    Don't take it personally. Existing companies tend to troll for new products. Little guys like you and me succeeding in the marketplace affects the sales of their existing related products. Keep in mind that neither you or I came up with the idea of using Granada based parts on Mustang or even...

    Ford or Mopar

    SEMA is a giant car show and much more. I find that the AAPEX show that runs at the same time is more useful for those looking for parts. SEMA is mostly aftermarket stuff like tires, wheels, dress-up and performance mods. AAPEX is more bits and pieces. They are both hugh shows. There was also a...

    Ford or Mopar

    I just got back from SEMA in Las Vegas. It was a very good show. I took some pictures of my favorites there. It turns out that one of them was the Challenger concept car. Very nice indeed! See pictures of the Challenger and of an interesting job one 1970 Boss 302. I also saw the "Overhaulin"...

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    Come on, give me a break (or should I say Brake)!

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    I know what you propose is done, but ebay rules dictate that the seller have the auctioned item in hand and available for shipping. In any case, I intend to produce the spindle. I will also eventually produce caliper brackets for use with them.

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    I will design it with Granada type tie rods. The Granada parts are not going away. In fact I now manufacture 3 types of tie rods with the Granada stud including the original, a 65-66 PS to Granada type, and a 6 cylinder 65-66 Mustang type. I have and will continue to stock them. I can build...

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    The first thing for me to do is find some 70 type drum spindles and hubs. I assume 71-73 are the same? Also, is the desire for a "shorter" steering arm because the R&P users want the tie rod mounting point closer to the spindle (forward) or closer to the center of the car (inboard), or both...

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    69gmachine, As I have stated before, my inclination is not in the performance area. That said, I have no intention of blindly following a consensus opinion. My talent is in bulldozing through the debris and getting things done. I have gleamed from this discussion that many user wish to use...

    Front Disc Brake Kit Winter Special

    I plan on at least 4 weeks. I have just received a shipment of new reproduction components that I have had manufactured. I am trying to increase the ease of installation of the kit. With that in mind, I now include an adjustable push rod and original (to 65-66) brake hose to chassis brackets...

    DRUMS TO DISC...

    Ultrastang, As you know, our friend MustangSteve recommends reinforcing the firewall and brake bracket by welding a plate to the bracket and to enlarge the existing firewall center hole from 2" to about 2 3/8". He sells the re-enforcement plate and other goodies for this swap.

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    bnickel, I presume that an Aluminum hub is preferable because of its lighter weight. I think it would need to be machined from billet. Is it worth 2-3 times as much as a cast iron or steel hub? I would offer the parts separately, but I am confident that most buyers would prefer a kit. I am...
