Does anyone know if a disc brake conversion kit is made for a 4 lug? I’m thinking not as all I find is 5 lug. Bad enough going 5 lug I’ll have to change both front and back I don’t want to have to change wheels too. Thx!
I've seen this kit but I have no idea if it'd work on Maverick. If it also fits '67-'70 Stang would fit Mav/Comet. As far as a specific kit for our cars, better chance winning the Powerball.
Does anyone know if a disc brake conversion kit is made for a 4 lug? I used 71 Maverick 4 lug spindles on my '61 Comet. The 4 Lug Disc Brake conversion is from 'SCAREBIRD CLASSIC BRAKES' https://scarebird.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=65 Simple 4 Lug Disc front brake conversion uses Scarebird backing plate with GM Calipers and Nissan Rotors. You can use all their parts or assemble your own ... Disc conversion will also need Frt/Rr proportioning valve added to rear brake line for any front disc upgrade.

Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that about Scarebird. They were a great option for affordable disk brakes.
Hello guys ,Maybe you guys might have more info on this kit for me ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/205705535782 Seller answered this ?? I'll give you the history of Ford spindles. Only 1960-1966 had different spindles for 6 and V8. Starting 1967 all spindles, 6 and V8 were the same. Same for 1970-75 except they increased the bearing size for 1970-75 ( Quote ) I really want a bolt on kit for my 1970 four lug spindle , Anybody have in info if this will work ??
As far as I have ever seen on a Maverick, the 4-lug spindles are different than the 5-lug spindles. The 4-lug spindle is smaller/not as thick.
Ford Master Parts says only spindles before 8-25-69 are smaller. ('69½ same size as other '69 models) For '71, no differential in spindles between 4 & 5 lug. Spindle size increased for all '70 models.
I guess the big ????? Is will that brake mount bolt up to the 4 lug spindle ? Up until now i searched for years to find a bolt on brake kit , This must be a new item ???? I will let you guys know if it fits ,,,, I know it 5 lug but that a easy fix ,
