[DeTomaso] I need some help with parts!

[parapantera at aol.com]

Actually, the Mustang rotors are SLIGHTLY larger (like .030" radius) than the stock rotors.  The Mike Thomas article on the swap is excellent.  My only advice is when ordering from SSBC, specify 66' rotors to be safe, as I recall from my failing memory there was a mid year change in 67' on the outer bearing sizes. A photo of my rotor/caliper fitment can be seen here http://members.aol.com/parapantera/newrotorcal.jpg

Check this months POCA newsletter for the Jack Stand article about a bolt-up
swap with SSBC's vented rotors.

As I recall Parapantera in Portland says that 67 Mustang hub/rotor
assemblies are a direct replacement. The wheel studs would be American
thread though.

>>>If I recall correctly, even though the bearing sizes are the same, 
the rotor is a smaller diameter, which means that part of the pad hangs 
out over the top of the rotors.  That doesn´t make it ´right´in my 
opinion.

Somebody tell me if I´m wrong about this?
