Didn't somebody on here tell me that the master cylinder from a '77 Maverick was a direct bolt on for a '56 Ford?

i did a disk break swap on my 57 fairlane and the master cylinder i used was a 4 door lincoln continental i think it was. the bolt holes line up to use 2 of the holes stock master has 4 bolt you just don't use the bottom 2 i think it is i also used the proportioning valve from it seems to work fine.

There are also adapter plates that allow a 2 bolt to be used in the place of a 4 bolt. I believe ECI has one.

I used one from a 68 Falcon, bolted right in on my 59 Ford.

i didn't see the need for an adapter just welded up the old bolt holes i guess i didn't need the adapter since i'm doing a build up not just adding it.

1975-80 Granada if you have disc brakes. There is a power and non power one. If you have drum brakes all around, make sure the master is for 4 wheel drum brakes. They are different.



Bolt in, you use only two of the four bolts. Just put bolts in the unused holes.

Paul 2748: You said, use a drum brake Master cylinder for 4 wheel drum brakes, that's fine. However, were drums used on some Granada's ? Or was your statement a generality?

I've got drums all the way around, no power. The '68 Falcon one seems the one to me. Probably the same as the '77 Maverick. Thanks guys.

Statement was a generality - I don't think Granada's came with drum brakes in the front.
