Reply to "Brake size"

The mustang rotors have become unobtainable. They were replaced with a combined hub, all cast in one piece.

The neatest "Pantera" brakes to have are the aluminum housing Girling 18/4, 16/4 calipers as run on the factory Gp4 race cars.

This is the very same as used on the 68 Ford GT40's which were called Gulfs and also the 70 Lola T70's.

You can still get them if you want to pay the price. About $3200 for the four calipers plus Fedex out of Great Britain.

The next best thing to do is go with a set of Wilwoods, front and rear. Not as retro cool as the Gr4 but a lot more reasonable and very, very obtainable.

SAAC Restorations right here on the forum has packages already set up to bolt on. He has them in degress of seriousness and has done virtually all of the figuring out necessary for you, just pick your level.

Just pick how much you want to spend.

Yes you could use a T-bird rotors front and back with the Wilwoods but why? Go with a race hat that sits over the hub and makes your life simpler.
