I have a 67 with factory discs. I would like to buy bigger rotors. Is there adapters available to just put the bigger rotors on and keep my old calipers? Thanks John

no there isn't. the link Rbohm provided will allow you to change to a larger 12" rotor but that rotor is also considerably wider than your stock rotors so you'll have to change the calipers too.

i have been investigating using a 12" rotor from a late model crown vic and sticking with a stock 4 piston mustang caliper but it would require a custom made caliper bracket. i won't be ready to really do anything for quite some, though, time because i'm totally broke right now

Yea, it looks like there is no such thing. I guess I could make a bracket if I really wanted to. Thanks John
