    Rear brake caliper question

    I have a 1965 mustang small bearing 8" rear. I want to upgrade the rear to disc brakes. I was wondering if the Shelby rear disc brake calipers will fit the MS brackets.

    Re: Rear brake caliper question

    You are going to have to be more specific.  What year Shelby?  Which brakes?  How big are your wheels?
    I have an extra set of 2015-2020 Mustang GT 13” rear discs you could pick up cheap. Then use MustangSteve GT2015-RSM brackets to mount them.  I have same on my 66..

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

    Re: Rear brake caliper question

    I am very interested in those 2013 brakes. The calipers I was looking at were for a 2009 Shelby they are on ebay for 79$. I have your GT front brake bracket set up on my car.I currently have 2013 GT brakes up front. I have my 17" wheels for my car as well.

    You can likely get a set of these for similar price off ebay, maybe even newer (prettier) than the ones ai have. These will cost alot to ship since I no longer have commercial account.

    Mine are the black calipers. Rotors are near new.

    Will the 2009 shelby calipers fit your rear brackets? I looked on rockauto and it looks like the shelbys used the same calipers and rotors in the rear as the v6 and GT Mustangs.
