Default Re: Brakes help

The best bet would be if you could find a complete manual brake setup from a low option early FOX Mustang, Fairmont etc. That way you get the correct manual brake pedal, the aluminum master cylinder firewall mounting bracket, and master cylinder. As Mike Graham mentioned, the manual brake pedal pedal location on the pedal bracket is also different, but both holes are drilled, so simple to move the pedal pivot location. Not sure what the caliper bore size on your larger front disc brakes are, but that could potentially be a problem. My 85 Mustang started life as a 4 cylinder car, and I retained the small factory front disc brakes, and stock rear brakes from the 5.0 doner Mustang, and swapped all the factory manual brake pedal, master , and bracket from a stripper junkyard Mustang. Had no problems stopping the car from 107 MPH, and even with the much stronger bracket engine, going 128 MPH, the stock, small brakes worked pretty good.
