Hello,
Having issues identifying the disc brakes my car has on it. Was told the rear was a Versailles based on measurement however the brakes dont match all the pics I have found. Thing I do know:

1.its a 9" carrier D2SW-C
2. Guy welded the brake line adapers to the freaking axle ubolts.

Please see the below pics and if you know it would be awesome as i need to get some pads and need to fix the stupid E-brake.

Thank you, that looks about right in the picture, gives me a place to start looking at brake pads. Car is a 67... guy I bought the car from didnt build it and didnt have very much info on it. Guess that would mean that my rear end ain't out of a Versaille then(?); maybe thats for the better in the long run from what ive read

Looks like the calipers are on upside down... the bleeder should always be on top. Should be able to switch sides and get the bleeder on top.

That's true, good catch. You will never bleed them properely the way they are. To correct that you would need to swap the calipers to the opposite sides. Left one goes on the right and vise versa.

FYI - advance auto sells M10 and M12 bubble to 3/8-24 adapter lines that are under $5 and around 8 inches. perfect for classic mustangs wanting to get a newer style master cylinder.
