Have any of you guys tried the 1999 -up Mustang gt PBR caliper swap on granada spindles? This setup replaces the granada caliper with a '99 GT caliper with more pad area. Look like a good deal.... Does anyone know the piston diameter? The '99 mustang Gt master cyl. diameter?http://pages.yahoo.com/nhrp?o=fairlaniac&p=index.html&pos=1&f=all&h=/recreation___sports/automotive/makes_and_models/ford/fairlane

I like it.. The manufacturing drawings aren't high enough quality for a machine shop to use as a base to replicate the bits though, are they? I don't have the tools here to make them ------------------ Marcus��BR> "To do something well is worthwhile, and that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy.

If you click the picture you can get a better detail of the image. Click the top half, as the bottom half seems to link somewhere else ????I haven't heard of this upgrade before, but I've always been interested in a way to go from single to dual piston calipers. I know a fabricator in the area and I think I send him a copy of this and see what he thinks.

Does anybody know what the master cylinder bore is on the '99-2000 GTs? Also have you guys ever heard of the Hydroboost being retrofitted to an early stang?

Can't say I have ever seen it, I have heard a couple say they wanted to do it, but nothing more ever came of it...------------------ Marcus��BR> "To do something well is worthwhile, and that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy.
