Hi Fred -
My car had a set of front rotors installed from a kit from a guy named Ron Graves (back in 2002). Unfortunately, I don't have any part numbers with the installation instructions. Sorry.
According to some info from the "Pantera Information Spreadsheet" these work up front. But I can't tell if they are vented, nor have I tried them.
Rotor Info From Pantera Info Spreadsheet
I believe that the Pantera uses the same inner and outer wheel bearings as the 65-67 Mustang?
They have the same dimensioned spindles.
That's why the entire assembly you show in this listing will work?
On the Mustang, there is a change over to a larger od wheel bearing half way through the 70 model year so the 68-70 small inner wheel bearing should work also?
The Mustang at that point goes to a larger od spindle and takes a different inside wheel bearing.
Same od. Larger id.
That was made necessary on the Mustang by going to an F60 tire then. It was making the original spindles fail. The upgraded spindle is quite beefy.
Most of the earlier "Trans-Am" raced Mustangs also got this modification along with using the 67 big Ford/Lincoln brake calipers and rotors which were vented. Those are 12"od by 1.25" thick and technically bolt up to the Pantera also.
I have seen three US race dedicated Panteras running that set up with the original front calipers moved to the rear.
I'm surprised that at least the Gp4 Panteras never had that issue of spindle failure too and required an upgraded, larger od spindle too?
