I would suggest finding a set of spindles with brakes from a junkyard whether they are the drum or disc would be dependent upon your choice but if you get the discs use the later single piston caliper style you get better brakes than the origanal 4 piston calipers...sounds odd to say a single piston is better than a 4 piston but the 4 pistons were prone to sticking and had a slightly smaller rotor.
Thanks for the info Shaggy, the only mustang I've seen in a junk yard here in town was sold off before I could get my hands on any of its parts. Not much selection in Montana (Billings anyway). Do you know where Willis is? my folks live there and i'll be down that way in March. Thanks again.
