65-73 Mustang Wilwood Disc Brake Conversions


65-73 Mustang Disc Brake Kits
and 75-80 Granada Spindles
(use 70-73 Mustang application - see Note 16)

We have made it easy for the early Mustang owners by producing the brake kits shown on this page.  This fills the void where Wilwood does not make a kit.  For additional information go to the Wilwood section of the web site.  We always recommend the purchase of the Wilwood brake kits over the OEM (factory) type because of the amount of pressure that is required to operate the OEM calipers.  What you save on your initial purchase will be lost with the headaches, time and parts you have to buy in addition to the normal master cylinder used with a 4 piston caliper kit.

We now have a "Zero Offset" brake kit for both the drum and disc brake factory spindles.  By designing a special hub this brake kit does not move the hubs out and retains stock turning radius.  

Add the Forged Superlite and DynaPro6 upgrades to your "Zero Offset" 11.75 or 12.19 brake kit.  Inexpensive addition to get a 9.5" caliper upgrade.

The reproduction early Mustang spindles is now available, however the machining is not to factory specifications.  Brackets made for stock spindles will not work with this spindle.  Our "Zero Offset" brakes kits are also available with these spindles and utilize a custom bracket made specifically for this spindle.

10.75" rotors 14" or larger rims
11.00" rotors 15" steel rims & all reproduction wheels
11.75" rotors most 15" after market aluminum wheels * (See B1F 2426611 for special 2.5" offset hats to clear 2 piece 15" reproduction wheels)
12.19" rotors most 16" after market aluminum wheels
12.90" rotors all 17" rims
14.00" rotors all 18" rims

Styled Steel Wheels: 15" rims only have a 12" inside radius so the above does not apply. See the Tech section for clearance specifications by caliper and rotor sizes.

Please take the time to read the Brake Article and Frequent Asked Question, the time you spend reading this will be well worth your trouble and might even save someone's life.  

Includes free shipping to lower 48 states.

Note 1: Add "D" to the part number for Drilled and Slotted Rotors
Note 2: R=Red BL=Blue SL=Silver P=Polished
Note 3: Moves wheels out 1/2" per side.
Note 4: Special kit does not move wheels out 1/2" per side.
Note 5: Stock 14" rims can be used with this application.
Note 6: Special brackets by Hot Rods USA.
Note 7: Requires stock 71-73 Mustang Disc Brake Spindles or Granada Spindles (See Note 16).  Will not work on disc brake cars 67-69 because these early cars did not use different spindles for the disc brake application. (see note 19 below and 67-69 application above)  An upper hole parallel to the frame, like found in a Mustang 2 spindle is required for the upper bracket mount.
Note 8: Backing plate mount holes must be drilled & tapped on disc brake spindles.
Note 9: 65-69 Factory Drum Brake Spindles. This kit has special new bracket to fit the factory drum brake spindles
Note 10: Now you can use the larger 11.75" rotors on your reproduction 2 piece wheels with this kit. Special custom 2.50" hats to clear almost any 15" wheel including reproduction 2 piece wheels with cast aluminum centers.
Note 11. Will not work with after market spindles must be factory disc brake spindles.  After market spindles are not machined to factory specifications. See Note 13 for brake kits with spindles.
Note 12.  No guarantee holes on reproduction spindles are correctly machined.
Note 13:  Application for reproduction spindles from MBM or TCP casting #1521.
Note 14:  See application table for correct rotor size selection with wheels.
Note 15:  Dynamic mounted rotors, Thermolock pistons and GN III Calipers options available.
Note 16: Most Granada spindles have the upper caliper bracket hole step drilled 1/2 x 9/16.  When using our bracket it is required you drill this out to 9/16".
Note 17: Special 11.75 & 12.19 x .810 inch scallop rotors also available but these are not recommended for street use, because of the .810" thickness.
Note 18: See our rear kits for matching scallop rotors  
Note 19: Requires stock 68-69 Mustang disc brake spindles. Disc brake spindles must have the upper hole just below the upper ball joint that is parallel to the frame. This kit uses the smaller bearing for this spindle.
Note 20: Conversions with power steering using Granada or 70-73 disc brake spindles must use the special Granada offset tie rods on left side and stock 70-73 tie rods on right side.
Note 21: Existing Early Mustang Conversion using the Granada spindles and rotors.
Note 22: Conversion kit includes: Dynalite or Forged Superlite Calipers, Pads, brake lines and our special caliper brackets. Does not includes rotors or propotional valve. Uses your existing rotors.
