    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    I understand that the consensus is for a drum type spindle (disc type would be very difficult) using a bracket and hub. I need to know the consensus on the hub configuration? Do you want a standard 70 iron hub, a steel one, an aluminum one, or something else. Also, which brackets and calipers...

    DRUMS TO DISC...

    Most auto parts stores offer the fittings. They are contained in a drawer/cabinet display in most stores. The common Weatherhead or Everco part number is 7818 for the 1/4" to 3/16" adapter (female 3/8"-24 to male 7/16"-24) and 7830 for the 5/16" to 3/16" adapter (female 3/8"-24 to 9/16"-18)...

    running water instead of antifreeze

    Let's get it straight without insult. Water has a higher heat capacity (the ability to absorb and tranfer heat) than either ethylene or propylene gylcol. Thus mixtures of coolant and water have lower heat capacity than straight water. Water has a higher freezing point than either ethylene...

    DRUMS TO DISC...

    The install of an 87 Mustang booster (used on most 80's FOX bodies) is not a "goes right in" proposition. Its install requires some mods to the firewall, pedal, and pedal bracket and is not applicable to cars with unmodified manual clutch linkages. MustangSteve sells parts and pre-modified parts...

    1" drop spindle, '70 drum style?

    OK, OK... What exactly is the market demanding. A dropped 70 drum based spindle and hub using disc brake brackets? How much drop? A standard (?) 1970 hub in Iron, or steel, Aluminum? Which bracket? Which caliper? I would not consider just making the spindles. I would need to make at LEAST 100...

    Will Granada spindles lead to problems w/ aftermarket UCA?

    Ultrastang, I know that you know, but by "early stock spindles" you mean 65-66. Also, 67+ spindles and Granada spindles share identical balljoint AND steering arm mount point geometries. So I agree, any suspension component intended for 67+ Mustang should work with Granada spindles. FYI, My...

    granada swap question (prob. stupid)

    Need more info Did you rebuild or at least adjust the rear brakes? What type of proportioning valve did you install? You said new parts. Does this include pads and rotors. What type pads? Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? Is the pedal soft, spongy, hard?

    Original Disc Brake Kits Probably not what you had in mind, but I will soon be offering a disc brake kit based on the original 70-73 design. It will include new spindles, caliper brackets, calipers, and all the small bits. This kit fits 65-73 cars and is offered with 65-66 or 67-73 geometry...

    Milling off the Intake of an I6

    A major problem with 200CID intake and exhaust manifold is that they are one casting. They tend to crack between the valves, and at the intake plenum. The Plenum has exhaust on one side and raw fuel air mix on the other. The heat shock causes cracks. It once took me 5 tries to find a decent...

    Help with Granada Spindles

    On the 65 type outers you bought, the tapered studs have a slightly smaller diameter. As stated above, driver side outer tie rod on PS equipped 65-66 (even V8s) Mustangs require a GR65 adapter available from mustangsteve. Be sure that you use the correct PS type tie rod on the driver side...

    Help with Granada Spindles

    I think you are talking about play in the outer tie rod to steering arm interface (the tapered stud doesn't fit snug into the mounting hole). It sounds like you have the wrong, probably 65 type outer tie rods. If your car is a 8 cylinder, you need 75-80 Granada type, if 6 cylinder you need...

    4 lug FOX Mustang wheels

    I would appreciate information about the backspacing and width of FOX body 14" 4 lug wheels. I assume they were original equipment on the 4 or 6 cylinder cars. I also assume that they are 4X4.5" pattern. Thanks for the help.

    brake question for 66 stang

    MII brake spindles are front steer, meaning that the steering arms project forward. Mustang and Granada (both Falcon based) use rear steer spindles. MIIs won't work.

    Master cylinder going to cause gray hairs

    Bendix 11862, Raybestos MC36440, Cardone 10-1614 are the proper manual disc/drum MCs. Have fun!

    71-73 Disc brake setup

    Everything but the booster is a direct replacement for the 68 system. The 71-73 type spindle has a larger spindle pin. use the tie rods from the donor. The booster will probably fit, but you would at least need a 68 power brake pedal.

    Finished prototype Mustang disc brake spindles

    So, bnickel suggests that the tie rod mounting point for an R&P spindle be moved 1.5" toward the pin and 1" outboard as opposed to the Granada/67-73 geometry. 69gmachine suggest 1-1.5" toward the pin. More opinions? Also should this spindle have a drop to it and how much. I think the spindle...
