Trial fit

This conversion will also work on 1971-73 Mustangs 

( or any Ford that uses the same spindle )

Sooo .. You have a 69 - 78 odd Ford , and want to fit decent brakes . 
You ring up the guys stateside , down under , the local Pep stores ,  
all tell you , big $ or you can go pleasure yourself in a sexual manner . 

I think a boer kan maak n plan , or f%$k it up proper trying  

Herewith the outset of my plan . 

Part numbers and detailed photos and a tutorial will follow once i've got the local 
traffic test stations brake test readout to prove it can be done - cheaper than a herpes treatment  


Herewith some photos 

Calipers will be 4 pot Brembo units , 
Pads still to be determined .

Note : The calipers do not need to "float " like the standard single piston units . 
This resolves a lot of headaches wgt the mounting part . 

Please tell me what you think !

Rear disks will be from a mercedes W203
Rear calipers from a Golf  , to keep the hand brake operational
Both front and rear pads have provision for brake wear indicators , so might just as well fit them ! 
@ R35 each , plus the cost of a bit of wire 

Aaargh

What a way to start your Saturday morning !
Have to remove the 302/C4 combo from the Isuzu Trooper , and transplant to a 1972 XY Falcon Ranchero pickup .
There will be lots of shouting .
