Author	Topic: Disc Brakes for a 65 Comet?
njmac Journeyman Posts: 9 From: Registered: Dec 2000	posted 05-03-2001 11:46 AM Hello I am interested in putting discs on my 65 comet. Are there kits available? If I go the junkyard route, which cars should I steal parts from? Does anyone have a write-up on this conversion on the internet? Thanks a lot. Nick IP: Logged

Registered: Jan 2000	posted 05-03-2001 05:54 PM Here is an excellent link: http://www.stuart.iit.edu/students/2112/restoration/diskbrakes.htm It uses 75-80 Granada disc brakes, which are plentiful (they were standard on all Granadas). Maverick & Mustang discs should work with the same procedure. ------------------ -Charlie Ping 1970 Maverick Grabber -1987 5.0L B303 roller cam/rockers -1968 Mustang Toploader -1977 Lincoln Versailles 9 inch w/discs -1980 Granada Front Discs www.MAVERICKGRABBER.com IP: Logged
