Reply to "USING MUSTANG ROTORS"

better quality American brand like Stainless Steel Brakes or EBC from England

I apologize for getting this thing started. Based on what I had been told from one who had been there, done that,I was pretty sure my info was valid.

This has been kicked around a LOT on the POCA forum, and experiences have been all across the board.

I do know the SSBC units are one piece; I strongly suspect they are made in China. They will work, are the correct thickness but will require front lug nuts to be switched to SAE. They will also need a new dust cover to match what came on the Mustang.

I have a Quella conversion to Wilwood Super Lites using stock Pantera rotors. In my case, the calipers are for a thicker rotor, and to make them work on the thinner Pantera rotor there is a metal spacer plate behind one of my brake pads - this was Dennis' solution, not mine. For me, and any others with similar conversions, IF the Wagner rotors are too thick, I intend to mill / fabricate a thinner set of spacer plates to solve the problem.

Again for those of you who have been playing buy/return/buy roulette, I'm sorry.

My intent was to provide info on an easily sourced, replacement rotor for those with stock systems. Didn't quite work out that way. Frowner
