    will this kit fit my 70?
    http://www.jegs.com/i/Wilwood/950/140-13476/10002/-1?ymm=4294829708+4294829830+4294827106

    i guess im confused on their many options, and the price just keeps going up. if this kit wont work, then which do yall recommend from wilwood? im wanting to order tomorrow if possible if i can get an answer. the website says it will, but wanted to double check. i will be running 15x7 magnum 500s up front for the wheels. thanks!

    I tried the Wilwood website, typing in Maverick in the search. apparently there is a cufoff date of Aug 24, 1969. Up to that date the Wildood serial number is 140-13476 as in the Jeggs info. As of the manufacture date of Aug 25, 1969 it becomes 140-13477. I'm sure one of our forum members can chime in on why that is. Have a look at Wilwood.com.

    The spindle got fatter and the wheel bearings got larger around Aug 24 1969

    More or less the difference is whether you have a '69½ or true 1970...

    Just to put you at ease on that front, Pick and pull will charge around 200 bucks for a Granada set up. The parts will be used, dirty, and it will cost you time to get them. Then you will probably need new pads, hoses, and Granada tie rod ends, bringing it up another 100 bucks, and they will not be 11.4 inch. If you have to rebuild calipers........anyway, 575 sounds like a lot until after you go the cheap way. Having said all that, my Granada brakes are much better than the old drums at least!
