Granada brake swap rumors?
 

Hi everyone a couple of quick questions here regarding this swap.

1)T/F Do I have to replace my balljoints and/or my tie rods when swapped
onto a power steering '67 Stang?

2)T/F I need to replace my stock dual resovoir master cylinder when going to
a non power disc setup? It seems my stocker will work, but the Maverick,
F-150, and Granada with their bigger 1 7/8 bore be just a better choice due
to pedal feel and lock up?

I've been collecting a lot of information for this swap and been contacting
various suppliers and junkyards. I would like to either find a used set of
Granada spindles and maybe the calipers for cheap, then buy everything else
new (need the calipers for core charge) or find a rebuilt/reman. "kit" of
some sort. Thanks in advance.

a couple of the basics here.....

1. your old ball joints will fit perfectly.....assuming that they are in good shape......old Mustangs seem to be rough on ball joints.

2. the master cylinder will need to be replaced regardless of your choice for bore size. Disc brake MC and drum brake MC are not the same. The larger the bore the firmer the pedal.....and the harder it will be to push. This is not exactly a bad thing......it gives good feel and moderation. Smaller MC bores will give an easier pedal, but at the expense of feel and travel.

3. The hub on the Granada brake discs is LARGER than the old Mustang hubs.....and original wheels will not fit over the larger center diameter. Stud spacing is the same, but it is a real @#$% to think you are done and find out that your wheels won't fit.
