A couple of weeks ago there was a posting in which the poster contended that he experienced an increase in track width upon installing the Granada swap (specifically, using CSRP spindle). He posed a question to the effect -does anyone have first hand information about track widths of the various Mustang and Granada brake systems.
I performed the definitive experiment for the disc brake systems.
I made an accuate measurement of the dimension from the wheel mounting surface of the rotors to the center point of the upper ball joint mounting hole of the spindles on Granada (original and CSRP), 66 Mustang (KH type), 70 Mustang types (original and CSRP). All measured 6.00" +/- 0.05". They yield the same track width.
It stands to reason that the drum systems would yield identical results, since they have the same published track widths as disc brake applications.
