I have finally succeeded in engineering and modeling a direct caliper bracket for connecting a SN95 aluminum dual piston caliper to a Granada spindle. It took 5 prototypes to tweak the design and production. Much of the design work involved selecting a suitable mating rotor. The best candidate...

The "Overhaulin" crew are working on a 53-55 Mercury (I think). They have shaved the headlight buckets and all the door handles. Chopped the top off and made it into a Roadster. It was in final primer last evening and will probably have been painted last night. I'll report more later. Sorry, no...

More prototypes to report on. Here are production prototypes of one of CSRP's projects, KH type front disc brakes for 65-67 Mustang/Failane/Falcon. I plan to have a full system available by the end of the year.

Pics as promised. I just completed a set of mock up brackets for SN95 2 piston PBRs onto Granada spindles. They will bolt up just like the Granada bracket using 2 bolts only, no adapters. I will send these off for modeling and prototyping. They should be available in a few months, but will...

I hope that the moderators will tolerate my posting this in the tech section. I don't visit the other sections. I have finally begun to upgrade/refresh my website. It will feature pictures of Ford classics, mostly Mustangs, on the pages. I would appreciate your submissions for publishing. The...

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...

As some of you know, I am working on the reproduction of the 65-67 KH based front disc brake system. It is common knowledge that the caliper inlet is 7/16" for 67 vs 3/8" for 66. The anti-rattle clips are different as well. I have run across another major difference that requires me to make a...

Brave the cold garage and install a front disc brake conversion kit before spring. I am offering our SWAP.2 kit to StangNet members for the flat price of $545 including S&H and pre-paid sales tax for Texas members. The kit includes my reproduction Ford Granada style spindles, caliper...

Some of you have participated in the earlier thread discussing a drop spindle for our Mustangs. I have bought a couple of pair of D0 drum spindles and am ready to start the evaluation and design. I want some input on a few issues. For that person(s) who will inevitably post about your...

I watched a TIVO of Sunday's episode of Amazing Race. The conmtestants were in the Ukraine. Several were driving 60's period Falcons. One of them looked like a 63 Sprint model. Very interesting. Does anyone know if these are Ford spec production or Russian knock-offs?

I just got back from SEMA in Las Vegas. It was a very good show. I took some pictures of my favorites there. It turns out that one of them was the Challenger concept car. Very nice indeed! See pictures of the Challenger and of an interesting job one 1970 Boss 302. I also saw the "Overhaulin"...

All members, The forum moderator has been so kind as to grant me permission to offer StangNet members $100 off the normal cost of the CSRP SWAP.2 and SWAP.3 front disc brake kits. The special price will be $445 + S&H. The kits are based on the tried and true Ford Granada design spindle and...

I would appreciate information about the backspacing and width of FOX body 14" 4 lug wheels. I assume they were original equipment on the 4 or 6 cylinder cars. I also assume that they are 4X4.5" pattern. Thanks for the help.

I need your help. Will 65-66 original wheels and style steel wheels fit on 68-73 type front disc brake set-up without interference? I know that the hub will fit through the wheel center openning, but what about caliper interference? Thanks for your help.

I want a pair of straight 68-73 front disc brake dust/splash shields. No reproductions. They can have surface corrosion or dings, but no perforations or bends. Write me at [email protected] if you have a set for sale.

I would like to hear your opinion about options to be available on my new Granada caliper. The link below shows a prototype caliper with prototype hose, bracket, and hose to bracket clip. The caliper has a 304 stainless steel piston and is zinc chromate electroplated in olive drab. My...

I am in the process of prototyping the 71-73 type Mustang front disc brake system. I need a set of OEM 68-73 dust/splash shields from which to model the dies. If anyone has a decent straight set to sell to me I would appreciate it. Moderator, I would appreciate your indulgence in posting...

For what it's worth, here is the link to my free Granada Swap installation guide. You may copy or post this guide for non-commercial use if you link to the following and attribute CSRP as the author: http://www.discbrakeswap.com/html/body_how_to.html

This topic is probably not new, but it was to me and I'll share my experience. My 95 4.6L had a check engine light on so I went to a local (central Texas) Goodyear service center (Lamb's Tire) and had the problem diagnosed ($89). They found that the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor was "dirty" and...
