Weren't the stock wheels 14" ?

13 inchers came on 64 1/2 and maybe some early 65's, I do believe.  Both for I6 and V8.  Is such a small rotor worth it?

I am working on making both caliper brackets to see which works best. The ranger and gm caliper meshes real well tops awesome on my cousins 65 with 289. Although I'd like all ford parts so I'm gonna try those 95 calipers on those 94 rotors. To see how well it stops probably pretty well since it those are dual piston and larger then mustang calipers  which use 38mm ranger uses 46mm. So we will see how she works

  Oh yah, I stand corrected . Although I wouldn't bother with 13" wheels. It's hard enough to find decent performance tires for 14" inchers much less the 13"s. And great brakes won't do you any good if the tires are crappy

My '66 200 with 4 lugs came with 14" wheels.  13" seems awfully small.
17" 5 lugs will be on it shortly though.

Just for the record.
In 65-66
13" 4 lug wheels were standard on 6 cylinder cars
14" 4 lug wheels were an option on 6 cylinder cars
All V8 cars had 14" wheels, except Shelby.

There are still some 6 cylinder owners that don't want to have to change wheels, but would like disc brakes. That is my target audience for the small disc brakes.  4 lug 13" fitting original wheels.  May not even be possible, but if I ever get the fastback and truck done, that is next.  Meanwhile, don't hold you breath on mine.  Maybe True74yamaha is onto something.  BTW, is there a story behind that name?  I always like to know where everyone is coming from...

I haven't yet received my 65 6cyl drum hub still looking for spindle as well. I'm courious as to what the 6cyl pilot hole in the drum is? I see on rock auto two different ones for the 6cyls I believe if memory serves correctly they are 2.43" pilot hole correct? I see another on her though that says 2.50" pilot hole.  If someone could clairify for me much appreciated. 

Pictures soon to come all ford disc set up, with some mean 48mm dual piston calipers

i dont think that any disc brakes would clear the 13" i do know that the older 14"  4 lugs will not clear some disc setups because of the backspacing of 3 1/2" if you get the later 4 lug wheels that come on 68 and later i6 cars (up to 73 mustang and mavericks) they have 3" backspacing and can even clear the 4 piston KH calipers and rotors and i there are companys that make the KH disc setup in 4 lug but they only fit 67+ spindles.


this like details the diffrences in the rims

My MG race car had 13 inch wheels and I used a Triumph GT6 rotor with a very nice Girling or Lockheed two piston caliper. Car stopped real well!
