Author	Topic: Problem......Granada Front brake conversion
FSTBK65 Gearhead Posts: 483 From: Salem, Virginia 24153 Registered: May 2004	posted 11-28-2006 07:33 PM I purchased a set of Granada brakes and I am finally going to put them on the car. I got a heck of a deal on new rotors, spindles, new hoses, new calipers, new pads, new splash shields, new bearings, and distribution block. The problem is that the center of the new rotors is too big to fit the center of my wheels. I have 68-69 styled steel wheels, and I want to keep them on the car. Anybody know which rotor I need to use with the granada spindles and 68 mustang wheels? Could I have the center of the rotor turned down to where the wheels will fit? ------------------ 65 fastback. 302, Paxton Supercharger 7PSI, Edelbrock heads and intake,flowtechs with cutouts, x pipe and 2.5in flows. 4 speed. 449rwhp and 410ft lbs through the mufflers on 93 octane. 7.7 @ 94.7 mph 1/8 mi, 1.84 60ft.

Thanks for the help guys. I am sure that I will run into something else with this conversion. ------------------ 65 fastback. 302, Paxton Supercharger 7PSI, Edelbrock heads and intake,flowtechs with cutouts, x pipe and 2.5in flows. 4 speed. 449rwhp and 410ft lbs through the mufflers on 93 octane. 7.7 @ 94.7 mph 1/8 mi, 1.84 60ft.
