I got my kit from Jim's Mustang in El Cajon Ca. About $600 + shipping to Houston a few years ago. All new parts except good used spindles and rebuilt calipers. Not really too difficult a job.

The only thing to watch out for is that the actuating rod from the pedal to the MC is NOT captured as it was in my '66. I had to make a positive rearward stop for the brake pedal. As it came, the pedal could have been pulled rearward letting the actuatnig rod fall out of the MC. And that would not be cool. I made a piece that I attatched to the steering column to prevent such an occurence.

I've been pleased with my Granada disk brakes and I think the price is good considering all the new parts.
