I found a guy with some Fords he's parting out, 57 to 71. Can I get some years fot the Torinos or any other possibility. Glen, I'm interested, let me know what it all consists of. Thanx, Gary

Gary, it is the spindles, rotors, and calipers from a Granada, don't remember the year, but they are all the same. They are just as pulled . I'll dig them out and send some pictures. I think the Torino's that I have are 72/73 but they are 5X5 lug pattern. I have a set on a 57 Custom that are 5X41/2 lug pattern, I think they are 68/69. As has been stated, if its late 60's/ early 70's ford they will most likely work. The advantage of the Granada is that it allows you to use stock 14" rims, the others require 15" or aftermarket rims.

It's cold, raining, trying to snow (yes I'm still in AL) and they are in the trunk of a parts car in the pasture. Give me a day or two and I will get them out and look everything over and give you a fair report along with pictures. It has been several months since I put them there and to be honest I don't remember what condition the rotors were in. I agree that shipping them if not in good condition would be a waste of money. I'll let you know ASAP.

OK Gary the rotors in my opinon are not worth shipping, so I stripped one side down to spindle and caliper. It weighs just under 20lbs, so 40/45 lbs total shipping weight. I can send these through the US mail and just guessing with out a zip code around $30/$40 bucks. If you want them let me know and I will strip the other one, box them and give you a total. I will need your shipping address. If you rather you can call me @ 334-227-3004 or cell 334-799-6577.

Just wanted to offer a little advice.The calipers are real cheap to buy rebuilt.I doubt there is even a core charge.Before you pay to mail them as part of the deal check out the cost to buy exchange ones.If those have been sitting for long time they are likely no good as is.I bought exchange ones and the core was $2.00 each.Just a thought!

Not only what Mark said - but take a look around on the net - there are some "how to's" on the Mustang sites that show installing the later Mustang aluminum calipers on there.

I boxed them this afternoon, spindles, calipers, old bearings, and old pads, just so you can make sure you have the right stuff. I did this because someone else contacted me and wanted it if you did not, but it is yours. I'll mail it tomorrow and give you a total. No need to wait on the check clearing, if we can't trust the people on this site, who can we trust?

Sounds good, I check shipping from your area to here, not to bad but it's a necessary evil. Will the Aerostar coils be to much of a drop with the Granada spindles or will the original springs with the one round chopped out be good?
