1962 Drum to Disc, can I use Mustang kit?

Blacksnake · 07-02-2009, 08:04 AM

Can I simply use the ssbc disc bake kit for the 65 Mustang on my 1962 Fairlane. I am going to give it a try in a couple of weeks. If i have to make a few mods thats ok, if it absolutely wont work can some one advise and or give me some tips on the mods I will have to make.

I found a kit made for the 62 (disc) but it is a single piston and I am looking for more stopping power than that. Thanks for the help Ryan

I think the key is to check the discs fit inside the wheel.

Try this for some information

Just a quick update, i used an SSBC brake kit for the 62 fairlane, it was the basic kit for the 65,6,7 mustang. Not the single piston junk. It all bolted up perfectly! I also installed a dual master and a proportioning block. The kit was expensive (900) but it is all good now, stops good and looks good. The dual master also makes me feel a little better. Any questions shoot me an email. Ryan

Also thanks for the info ref the T5 conversion, that is next. I will keep you posted, just ned more $ to continue. Ry
