Gonna put front and rear manual discs on my 70 Stang. Putting granada discs on the front and probably will put GM metric calipers on the back. Two questions. First what master cylinder will work with this application? Will a master for a 4 disc equipped versailles work? Also, will the stock granada prop valve work or do I need to add an aftermarket dial type prop valve? Further,with the aftermarket dial type, can you do away with the factory block and add a tee for the fronts, and add the dial type prop for the rears and dial in the amount of braking desired? Trying to get all of this straight in my head.
Thanks for the help,Von

No advice here on the granada stuff.
I searched for those parts and came to the conclusion that my total bill would have been over $600 for used parts. so I bought new, everything included... just a thought if you aren't too far along in the ballgame.http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/

I agree with 67357C. I did discs just on the front, and for approx. $75 more, I could have gotten a complete aftermarket kit with all new "matching" parts and saved weeks of sand blasting, painting, and searching for odds and ends. Maybe I'm just getting lazy  Charlie

Go with the Explorer kit on the rear, in the end it will save you a ton of time (money) and frustration. The entire kit goes for low $300 range with all new parts and it works well.------------------

I have the setup you are talking about.
I have a Granada Front with GM Metric Eldorado rear calipers with MK VII rotors.
I tried several master cylinders and Finally bought a booster and master cylinder from Master power brakes.
Now it works great.
If you already have a booster, I think the master is off of a Versailles or SVO mustang with the outlets on the side next ot the engine. I bought some Banjo fittings and everything worked well.

I have a Versaille sitting outside on my car trailer waiting for me to tear it apart.. Car is complete,, except no motor or tranny.. Body isn't even that bad.. That should work okay on my '66 Fastback,, right..As far as price so far.. Just get that thing out of my yard.. ------------------
