Don't they use Grenada setups on Mustangs?



Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

No worries about high jacking thread. I like to see all opinions and views. As far as the multiple piston calipers they exert more clamping force over a larger area which to the best of my knowledge means better stopping power. I would like to know also if there are better opions with the spindles.

Of course I'm a bone head can't figure out how to correct the spelling in the topic. Sorry, Dave

Didn't want to hijack 62bigwindow thread and some (ok all) of what GREENBIRD56 had to say got me thinking.

First is there any benefit to multiple piston calipers compared to the single piston floating/sliding calipers on a street car?

I have a set of Granada front spindles, but not sure if I want to use then. In the past always found a set of drums all around to be fine, as long as they were properly adjusted. So...,

I see Wilwood offers their Classic series 4 piston bolt on kits for both the OE 1960 Ford drum brake spindle and also the 1970-73 Mustang with OE disc spindles, but not the Granada. Would the Mustang kit possibly work on the Granada spindles? I know should ask wilwood.

I'd like to go without a booster and have over the years dealt with frozen caliper slides. So that is what prompted the multi piston caliper question.

Thank, Dave
