31 Ford with 71 Pinto front end brake issue
I have a 31 Ford coupe with 1971 Pinto front end, Disc brakes. The rotors ar 9" and the pads ar small. Does anyone know of any larger factory rotors and calipers that can be adapted to the Pinto spindles?

Looks like your 1971 spindles are pretty limited.
Heres a link with a good read on it.

Many 'kits' use the '75-'80 Granada style rotor which is 11.06" diameter - even the Wilwoods on the front of my TCI chassis use them. It might be as simple as swapping out the Pinto spindles with a Mustang ll (tho I haven't researched this)
I hope that you are using the strut rods with this suspension.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
