    Sorry to bring this up but my search function isn't working. Would the disk brake spindle and parts from an 82 Granda fit a Maverick? I'm asking because Wiki says the Granada was redesigned in 81.
    There's an 82 sitting in the local yard. Thanks.

    And don't forget the Lincoln Versailles, although it may be the hardest to find of the three. Mine came off a 1977 that I was lucky enough to find about 10 minutes away from me.

    The Versailles 9 inch rears also had disc brakes,you would have to shorten it but they work nice.

    No need to shorten it, I have a stock width unit under mine.

    Those Versailles rear discs really aren't all that good. An aftermarket kit or Crown Vic setup would be better.

    There's nothing wrong with the Versailles discs and if you find a set then you should pick them up. If you find a whole car for a decent price then definitely snatch it up because it should have discs all the way around and a 9" rear. If you get lucky and it has bucket seats then you should also have a nice console too.
