Vintage Mustang "Standard Rear" Disc Brake

by Tony Losey — last modified 2009-12-28 11:44 — expired

Vintage Venom's "Standard" rear disc brake conversion kit for vintage Mustangs and Cougars is arguably the best value on the market. Don't be fooled by our competitions partial/incomplete Explorer conversion kits or those high priced rear disc brake conversion kits. They simply can't compare with the value of this kit. Our kits fit 8 or 9 inch Ford rear axles with standard (i.e. small) wheel bearings.

Ohhh Yeaaaa... There is nothing sweeter than 4 wheel disc brakes!!!

Note: These brakes will not work with vintage stock "OE" wheels due to their wheel ID profiles. If you have stock magnum 500's and would like to use them, a 1/2 in. spacer and longer wheel studs are required.
