As I've said before, Granada/Monarch 9" rears will work great. Also, '57 Fords had 9" rears that are almost exactly the same width as a 65-66 Mustang rear (pads are identical). I've seen these rears fairly cheap at swap meets. -CP
: :front discs are a piece of cake. just remember to change the prop. valve. The rearend goes in also. There is two measurements you have to have right. The spring mounting pads width and the total drum to drum width. Otherwise you;ll have to do a little custom work. Early stangs are the narrowest rearends I've sen. Only 9" ones were in the Shelbys and hipos. You'll pay out the nose for one.
: Get ahold of Currie Ent. in LA, Cal or Moser Eng. they have what you're looking for or can make it for you without charging you an arm and a leg.

: I have a Maverick that was purchased in May 1969.
: : Could I still use 1974 Mav. disc brake set up and the rear end with the 5 bolt pattern, or is there another direct bolt in set up I can use.
: : The car is bone stock with 186,000 mi. and still going strong.
