aftermarket brakes on granada spindle?

[golf4283]

like the title states, what are my options for aftermarket brakes such as wilwood or baer when it comes to having a granada spindle on my car?

 

[68stang351]

I think I finally found some good aftermarket Granada spindle brake parts. Hang on I'll see if I can find them............

I don't know, I thought I saw some of that stuff in Mustangs Plus, but I don't see them in there. I coulda swore I saw some performance brake stuff for Granada spindles.

I'll keep looking, I'm interested in this too, if I find anything I'll let you know.

but what about as far as wilwood kits etc?? are the spindles from the granada similar to ones that can run these brakes?

Check it out, Baer makes a kit for use with Granada spindles.

Here's some Granada slotted rotors.

Well, thats about all that Google can find for me.

Brake Options

I put 99-04 PBR dual piston calipers on mine. A search on the internet should provide you with a templet of the adapters needed to put the calipers on your car. Easy to make and works great.

SN95 to Granada bracket

I am working on a direct SN95 PBR caliper to Granada spindle replacement bracket. See picture below. This is the first prototype casting. It needs a little dimensional refinement, so at least a second prototype will be required. As always, the pricing will be reasonable.

Ten years or more ago I installed the Granada disks on mine and then 8 months ago I ordered Baer's kit and they just need to be aware of what parts you have on your car. They installed without a hitch and I love them!

I was going through the same dilemma about 10 months ago. Here is what I ended up doing. I sold the Granada brakes on craigslist and then ran an ad looking for drumb brake spindles and hubs. A guy gave them to me. I then went and purchased a Mustangsteve.com cobra brake conversion. I am into the cobra brakes less then $400 if you count what I sold the Granada's for. I am sure that is about 1/3 the cost of a Baer kit. Just another option to think about.

I think im gonna sell the granada's, buy new spindles, and go this route

Degins, what is the ETA on those??? As soon as you have a set ready to go I will take them... in fact I would be interested in the first prototype set if they can be modified with out to much effort to be made to work.

The next prototype will probably be ready in about 6-8 weeks. I need to hold on to the prototypes for reference purposes. I'll order 6 sets of the next prototype for air delivery. I'll take the chance that they are correct. I'll allocate 4 of these for user testing.

That is a pretty cool idea definitely, but I'm looking for something with a larger rotor. I want something in the 12-13" size and not the 11.5 of the granada.

Would you consider making one to fit the C5 PBR caliper? The thicker 1.25 rotors cool better and crack less than the 1.1 Mustang rotors/calipers (assuming they're designed to use late model rotors as well). The only difference is the basket is wider.

i'd love to use a 70's ford one piece 12" rotor with a dual piston PBR, that's actually my ultimate goal for my front brakes, i even have several options for the rotor as well. all are 12"x1.25" (11.75" actually) and all are ford products from the early 70's with the correct 5x4.5 and all should fit a granada or 70 drum spindle perfectly

as far as getting new spindles I'll just have to keep my eye out on the classifieds and also on ebay. nothing much else I can do really I don't think.
