Let my 16 year old drive the Mav the other day. His first time driving a car without disc brakes and / or ABS. He made a very quick lane change, locked the rear wheels and 'bout S**t his pants. So I better swap to Discs, but been unlucky finding any. Thought I found some, bought them and they turned out to be Lincoln or sumthin and wont work. When I did my Ranchero I had to change a lot cause the Falcon 6 stuff was so spindly. What has to be changed on a Mav? I already have 5 lug V8 brakes. Anyone got a set of Mav or Granada spindles/brakes for sale?
well your 16year old now knows how to drive better now i had a hard time finding stuff too! just need one more fitting and i'm gonna start.. i jsut can't figure out what size the fitting is.. it aint 1/8, 3/8, or a 1/4 i just can't figure it out as for anyone who as a set Cabinator (chris with the brown 75 at knotts) has got some for sale PM him. Maybe we can meet up for the NHRA deal next month.
It was funny to see his face when it locked up. He had never experianced that before. He has a different respect for my diving now since he had never seen me do that. I was going to pick a part, but found that there are some "RE-SELLERS" that are paying guys a bounty for these set ups so these guys will hit the yards daily in the morning and pull the set ups and get paid to hold them for him.
The last post I made on the disc brake swap was covered almost everything. Try doing a search and see if it comes up (it's simply too much to keep re-typing each time these questions are asked). It details what has to be changed. Of course many others have posted similar information on the subject here as well...
