    Rear Disc on a 69 mustang (FORD 9" 28 spline)

    Hey Folks,

    This years project with annual bonus is REAR DISC BRAKES....Im looking for the most cost effective way to do this.  Steve I know you have a cobra setup, and as much as I would love this set I believe its a little too rish for my blood

    Does anyone know of a decently price set?  W/Emergiency Brake setup.

    Lastly, I do receive Mechanic Pricing on parts at a couple of my local venders.  So if anyone suggests/knows of just bracketing and/or hardware I can get the rest.  this should help the wallet

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    i've got the mark VII brakes on the rear of my 69. bought the brackets mentioned above & found a donor at pull-a-part with good turnable rotors & calipers that i used for cores. total price after completion was around $275.

    If you have the wherewithall you can do what I did, make your own mounting brackets. I looked at the previously mentiond web site, (not sure but it may be Ultrastangs) and got the concept of what was needed for the MKII conversion. I have less tha 200 bucks invested.

    Get a set of core calipers from a pick and pull, make sure you get all the brackets, bolts and hardware.

    I got rebuilt calipers from a local parts store as well as the new rotors and hoses.

    I used a band saw to make the mounting and emergency cable brackets, if you have a plasma cutter that would work as well.

    Here are some picture.

    The comlpeted conversion.

    The o/e splash shields were rotted and new ones were not available.these are made from body metal.

    Thats a nice looking installation. Are any spacers required for wheel clearence?

    With stock 68 Shelby ten spoke wheels I needed a 3/16" spacer.
