Thread: MII brakes

Tweet

I bet I've put a half dozen Mustang IFS units in and never had this problem . I got the 2" drop spindles so I could get the car lower and not loose suspension (ride) but seems stock disc brake hoses can't be used . I'm sure there is a hose that works but I'm not having much luck. The guy at the parts store is usualy good at this but not this time. Since you guys have done the drop s before you must know the answer. RIGHT?

Guess I found out on my own went and looked at a droped front end and it has the banjo type fittings now all I have to do is find out the number for the hose and bolt.

I'm bringing this up again because I can't find what I'm looking for. It maybe that I have to go to the biger rotor and different caliper?? I think what I'm looking for is a7/16" banjo bolt and a brake line 16" long with round banjo fitting on one end and 3/16 tubing on the other. Any help

so when you went to disc what disc caliper and rotor did you use ? most drop spindles use a intermediate gm caliper and rotor , which is like a camaro ,nova and chevelle . i have used these drop kits and never had problems with finding a brake hose like a camaro hose .

You may have hit on somthing there as I am not or wasn't aware that I couldn't use the stock calipers and rotors with the drop spildles. Every thing bolts up the hose being streight hits the top of the spindle. If it wern't for that every thing would work. So what your saying is I have to get different rotors / discs& calipers???

Thats a drag, Is it hitting all the time? Is there room to elbow out of the caliper and connect the line through other fittings possibly? How much room is there betwwen the 2?

About 1.5" if I could find the 7/16 24 banjo bolts I think I can make it work. I heard they were used on early GMs but haven't been able to locate them yet.
