Hey is that the kit from Mustag Steve??
If so how pleased are you with it? clear concise directions? simple install??
Yes that's the kit.
Too early to say, I've done a test fit and had an issue, sent Steve an email and posted on his BBS. I have no reply from him but it has not been 24 hours yet and he just finished that big party yesterday, so I'll cut a ton of slack there
There were no directions whatsoever, but all I bought from Steve were the adapter plates. They came with a bag of hardware too. I bought the calipers and rotors over a year ago when another guy here was planning on making a similar bracket. The spindles I bought were for a '71 drum car, the shaft the wheel/brake assembly mounts to was the largest/strongest ever made for a Mustang. Someone told me that I could probably get a set of '71 drum bearings and that they'll fit the '67 hub since the OD did not change only the ID. Anyone here have an opinion on that? The '67 inner-bearings will NOT seat all the way down on the 71 spindle although the outer bearings are interchangeable.
Install was brain-dead simple, but I'm only 95% sure I did it right, so take that with a grain of salt. There really was little other choice for the install though, there's a sizeable "notch" on the other side of the bracket (

Also I should mention...after getting a close-up look at the factory power disc bracket I can only say that Steve's bracket is much beefier.
