I will be putting a set of Power Disc Brakes on my 1972 Grabber. I got all the parts off of one of my parts cars. Before I took them off, I drove the car around the block. I LOVED the power brakes!! With the power steering and Power brakes, it was well ahead in drivability compared to driving my 70 grabber with manual steering and drums. I will get everything rebuilt and put on my 72 and see how it all works out.
=======================================
: Granada Master cylinders are compatible with Maverick power boosters, but you need a Maverick power booster to swap to power brakes. They are hard to find. You will need a different shock tower brace and I think a different pedal bracket.
: I have never done the swap. In my opinion, the Maverick does not require power brakes. Ford never even offered power brakes until 1975. The Maverick is very light and it may be overkill for the '70, which weighed only around 2400 lbs. (I6) -CP

: : I forgot to ask what car ahs a power master cylinder is compatible with a 1970 2 door Maverick.
