Instead of doing a Granada disc swap, I wanted to put new spindles on my car, and the only ones I can find are 68 spindles. I thought the only drawback was you cannot use your standard wheels. The other one was 68 only supported 10" rotors, but the place that has the 68 spindles is selling 11" rotors for the swap.

Are there any other drawbacks, or difficulties with doing this swap? Will tie rod bolt up?

Thanks in advance

What are you trying to do, and what is your real question? What brakes are you trying to support?

Are you trying to run and after market brake system, or an oem type brake system? After market disc brake systems such as Wilwood add appx 5/8 inch to each side requiring a different backspace. Baer disc brake systems don't alter the width.

You can put 68 spindles on your 66, you'll need 68 outer tie rods. You can put 70 spindles on your 66, you'll need 70 outer tie rods.

Thanks for the reply

This is what I was looking to buy off of Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7987974047&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

the guy selling the kit did not know if it would fit on a 1966, so he had me contact the "warehouse". They could not answer my question either.

So my question is, should I buy this kit, or do a granada disc swap?

Thanks again. Chris

Opinion only!!! Most people doing mustang suspension/brake work would know a 68 spindle fits on a 66 mustang by just changing the tierod. If they can't be trusted to know that, I'd be just a little afraid of their product.
