Its component range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Choose each component to match the complete system’s braking requirements.

Fitment & Compatibility
Fits only the original disc-brake spindles on the Mustang II, Pinto and Bobcat years listed in the table below. Confirm the actual spindle if the vehicle has been modified; a drum-brake spindle is not interchangeable for this kit. Aluminum hubs, wheel bearings, seals and studs accompany the brake components. Choose the hub bolt pattern to match the wheels and verify DS-562 clearance. Hoses are separate; universal 14-, 16- and 18-inch options are 220-7056, 220-7699 and 220-8307, with length selected for steering and suspension travel. Nominal minimum wheel diameter: 17 in; 431.8 mm. Compare the actual wheel barrel and spokes with the linked clearance drawing; diameter alone does not establish fit.
