FINALLY.....Monday I got done doing the front suspension rebuild, Shelby drop, Granada disc brake swap, and custom power brake system on my wife's '66.

The power brake booster is from a 1987 Mustang and the master cylinder is an aftermarket custom aluminum one that I machined her personal license plate (STANG 66) into. I also cut, bent, and flared all the stainless steel brake lines. I have to repaint the flat head screws in the master lid. The polish took off what I had on there.

Now with the new bushings, Shelby drop, and 1" swaybar that thing goes around turns and curves just great.

Here's some behind the tire pics that show the new stuff and the 1" swaybar that replaced the anemic 5/8" 6 cylinder swaybar.

The bracket that mounts the flexible brake line is from the Granada. Be sure to get these if you take on this project yourself.

What year Granada did you get the disc parts off of? Did you have to do anything to the brake rod into the back of the booster? My email is a6falcon5@aol.com please respond on my email I have a 66 coupe and probably will have a few more questions if you dont mind. Im going to make the conversation myself.
