    not sure if it has been posted or not. here is a way to add mustang duel disc brakes to your car.www.woodyg.com/fairlane/finfo/discs66.html
    i just did it today. well, there still not on the car.they are mounted on the spindles and ready to put on the car. i just had to change a couple of diminsions.other than that worked perfect. picked up my calipers on ebay for 65.00 + 20.00 for new pads. we will see how they work when i install them.

    I stole that article and put it in Shorthorns a while back. I did give Mr Hays his due credit. Good article.
