I'm trying to find a reasonable front disc upgrade and rear disc conversion kit, but everything seems to be way overpriced.
I've got a '71 Mustang with OE 11" disc brakes up front and drums out back. The axle is a 28-spline Ford 9" with an upgraded 3rd member (US Gear billet steel Trak-Lok, 3.50:1 gears)... I believe it is a small bearing 9". I've upgraded to 17" wheels with 315-35-17 rubber out back and 245-45-17 up front. The car is driven mainly on the street, some highway, and planning to do some canyon carving and touring.
I want to use OE late model Ford parts, if possible. I've seen rear conversions using GM calipers and things like that, want to avoid that. Ideally, I'd like to see a bolt on kit that allows the use of the OE disc spindle with late model Cobra/PBR brakes, as that is what I did to my '89 5.0 and it works great.
