D0Z 3108-C
Since the Maverick didn't get discs until D4 (1974), and those were the ones used on Granada when it came out in D5 (1975), I'd say your D0 (1970) spindles are the correct upgrade part for your D0 Stang.
Edit:
Just a bit more info...
The 70-73 Stangs used the same brake systems.
So it could have been sourced from any of those, but be correct for your car.
Thanks - I suspected they were Mustang since I don't remember specing anything other than Mustang when I replaced the pads a while back. I'm upgrading to a power brake booster and adding braided steel lines so this info is very helpful.

couls also be falcon, torino or cougar as well.
I actually use Granada spindles on the race car and have had not one problem. Be concerned with the after market type, simply because of the lack of testing.

True, however the car it was sourced from is really immaterial as they are the same parts. If he went to the parts house and asked for brake pads for a 70 Stang, 69 Montego, or 70 Cougar (for example)... he would still get the same brake pads. All the same parts.
The important thing is that he doesn't ask for Granada, Maverick, or small bearing parts like 68 Torino or 69 Stang, for example.
So should we be concerned about replacement tie rod ends, rotors, springs, etc.. that are reproduced copies of original parts but not tested or just spindles?

IMHO no aftermarket parts should be used for racing unless they are checked after every session for possible defects. I have preached this for years.
And, they should be checked on a very regular basis when used on street cars.
These aftermarket parts simply do not go through the testing provided by the original manufacturers.
My main concern is aftermarket suspension parts being added to a vehicle and then that vehicle sold to an individual not knowing the parts are being used or the new owner does not go through the needed inspections.

honestly, i'd be more worried about 40 year old original parts than new aftermarket parts, especially if the new aftermarket parts are exact copies of the originals.
bnickel,
Trust me, this discussion will go nowhere.
i know what you mean. and as most people know historic and i don't usually get along very well for the most part
actually, i should rephrase that and say that in the past we have words and disagreements but for the most part lately i think we have had a certain agreement, basically that we are both as bullheaded and stubborn as one another and usually just end up doing a lot of meaningless typing. i do respect some of his opinions but not all and i believe the feeling is mutual with him or so i understood it.
