[THX 138]

rather have that bracket from steel.

 

[StaffAmerica74]

Soooo anyone got a set of stock 66 spindles they dont want?

 

[bnickel]

actually that caliper bracket ought to as strong as a steel 3/8" bracket maybe stronger

 

[86T-Top]

Thats sexy. Wish I didn't do the granada swap last summer now.

looks like it is time to sell the slotted granada setup to get those puppies.

I just had to email him and ask when/if a '69-'70 or '71-'73 version would be available. I let ya'll know when I find out.

 

[cardude]

drool, I wanna set. is this only for the original spindle or do they also work with granda spindles??

even after heat cycling?

good point, that is an unkown here. however we could probably figure it out if we knew which grade of aluminum it is, i think Mustangsteve has that info posted on his site.

 

[SitDown]

its a pretty reasonable price. They sell 13" upgrade kits for SN95+ brakes for $400. MS's kit uses all the same parts as that kit + his custom bracket, although many may need to buy his hub too. Either way id be interested to see more pics and information...

baers are aluminiun also, doesn't seem to be an issue

As I mentioned, I emailed Mustang Steve about kits for later years and his reply was:

"I will have those next. Coming SOON!"

There you have it... straight from the man. I should start hunting down some drum spindles soon...

 

[65fastback2+2]

me and brian had these done before mustangsteve

 

[bswor]

Awesome, i saw his post on another forum and was salivating over the thought of those big rotors for us later model guys. Looks like they are coming soon i cant wait.

Just curious here, but I paid $1045 for my BAER front 13" track kit for my '65. It includes, brackets, cross drilled/slotted rotors, calipers, pads, hardware, soft braided hoses, all front hard lines, master cylinder, GREAT INSTRUCTIONS, and adjustable prop valve.
How much will mustangsteves kit cost if you add drilled/slotted rotors and all the above equip I got with my kit ?? Just food for thought....

 

[66 BLAKE 96]

Wow! Very cool.

FWIW, I met Steve when I picked up my clutch cable/roller bearing/power brake conversion stuff from his house. Very nice guy, and he has a pretty cool little operation of creative retro-fit engineering.

I'll have to seriously consider this upgrade. It'd be a huge step up from the old Granada swap I've been running for years. Luckily, Steve probably has some spare spindles lying around, because I have no clue where mine went in 1996.

cool. what is used for a hub? a machined stock disk?

 

[jikelly]

wow that's kick! I wonder if the 71-73 versions will be made for the disk and drum spindles? My car came with the 11" front discs.
