    With the mustang and granada spindles being able to fit on our mavs/comets,I was wondering if the mustang front rotors will fit/work on the granada spindles,or do you have to get the rotor for which spindle is used? Thanks in advance.:tiphat:

    One of the problems with the Mustang rotors is the hub center size. It is smaller than the Granada hubs.

    The hub center supports the weight of the car on the wheels.
    A small hub center would mean that the weight is supported on your wheel studs, not a good idea.

    Ford changed the wheel center size and hub diameter, sometime in the mid 1970's as I recall.
