disc brake swap Posted by Clint Lewis on 10/27/2009, 7:15 pm 74.196.207.42 Does anyone know if the front disc brake spindles, rotors and pads from a 1969 Ford LTD will fit on a 1968 Mustang? I am going to attempt to do the swap but didn't want to go at it blind. A friend told me that the outer tie rod end size will be bigger but I am not sure about the upper and lower ball joint size or if the rotors will be too thick for a smaller car like the Mustang. I know the granda swap is the most popular but the junk yards have already been raided. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Clint  Post an Intelligent Response

Re: disc brake swap Posted by Dharl Bagley on 10/30/2009, 5:03 pm, in reply to "Re: disc brake swap" 71.214.248.83 Clint, Steve is correct as I have recently been down the long hill of locating what will and will not work. I would go to ebay listing number 260497403986 and buy these since they will adapt over using the bracket kit from Mustang Steve. You could be into a complete front and rear kit for under $1000.00 which is cheap and the benifit and look is worth bragging. Downside you will need to run 17 inch rims though. Good luck as I just bought a complete set off of Wayne from this site. These guy's on this site are awesome. Way better than the Chevelle sites I have been on  Post an Intelligent Response
