Granada Rear brake caliper mounts for mustang

Hello,
I am new to the forum. I am looking for a set of rear brak caliper mounts that fit onto a 1978 ford Granada rearend. The rearend is being fit to a 66 mustang. I have found a photo with what they look like.

I will attach a link.

About halfway down on the page it shows the two axles and the two rear caliper mounts on the floor. It is this stlye I am looking for. I have found another style that looks very similar, but they have 1 mounting bolt hole that is vertical and the other it horizontal. I need the ones that are both vertical.
Thank you for your help with this.

I have what you are looking for, have all of the mounting pieces, sheilds, parking brake cables, rotors, both axles but the drivers axle is bent so it is unusable. There are no axle bearings. 

I think the brackets that described that you don't want are the front wheel brake brackets.

The amount of fun is directly proportionate to the damage done.

You might want to look at a Cobra conversion for that rear end instead.  They are about 50 pounds lighter, they work great and you will get an emergency brake system that actually works.  See www.mustangsteve.com/cobrabrakes


Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

Re: Granada Rear brake caliper mounts for mustang

LanceM, I would seriously consider going the Mustang Steve Cobra Brake Calipre upgrade.

The brakes in the pictures look extremely close to the Lincoln Versaille brake nightmare. I spent a lot of time and effort trying to get the Versaille brakes rebuilt and installed. The brick wall I ran into was trying to adjust the brakes for the first time. The second and largest brick wall was going to be the E-Brake connections.

Save your sanity and do the upgrade. A little more money for a lot less pain.

The 9-inch rear end with disc brakes was optionally available in the '75-'80 Granada and Monarchs. The disc brake rear end came as standard equipment on the '77-'80 Lincoln Versailles. The 9-inch disc brake rear end that was available in the Granadas/Monarchs is the exact same rear end that was used in the Versailles.
