67 cougar

It depends whether you want to be authentic. 65-67 Mustang will fit. These are the 4 piston calipers. Technically, 1967 is unique because it has a different size thread on the brake line.

If you want to go single piston calipers, then any Mustang 68-73 will work. Granada, Monarch, and Vesailles will also bolt up but you need a different tie rod end because the taper is a different size.

You'll also need the proportioning valve and a different master cylinder. On the 67, It's under the rear seat. If you go with power disk, you'll also need to swap the brake pedal.

For a restoration or just upgrading? Disc brakes were available oem in 65 as my Mustang was originally equipped. So, another Cougar, or parts from a Cougar parts vendor, or an after market like Baer Brake or Stainless Steel Brake Corp.

Additionally, the same Versailles or Monarch conversions used on Mustangs might also serve. I think you might find in a vendor catalog some mention of this, as well as in the Tech section of some vendor web sites. I know some of the Mustang sites Tech Sections have articles covering this.

Another possibility is to research the articles on the magazine web sites for Mustang Monthly, Mustang and Fords, etc.

As Spike said... Tho he couldnt think of "granada' as that's what the base car is called. IOW the Granada swap

First verify that your spindle and attaching parts are the same PN as the same year mustangs.. then find the swap info for that year Mustang

Copy and paste both lines

The brake systems for a '67 Cougar and Mustang are identical. Any kit that will work on that vintage Mustang will also work with the Cougar.

On my first Mustang (a '67), I actually replaced the entire front frame from the torque boxes forward with the front of a rear hit '67 Cougar. They shared a lot of common parts with the exception of the sheet metal.

Cheers,

'Cause a Cougar was essentially a rich man's Mustang... : 0 )

Dang! That's what it was!!!! I KNEW there was another name, but what the hey... at my age it was lucky I could recall any of them... LOL

Changing the brake pedal is dependent upon what conversion is used. IIRC, Baer has a dual cyl power conversion which does not require a pedal change. SSBC may also have this now.

68 cougar/stang is an easy swapover. The stopping power isn't as great as the Granada swap, but you can keep your current rims
