Description

This front caliper mounting kit installs 2013-2014 Shelby GT500 brakes with 15" rotors onto a 65-73 Mustang or other classic Ford. It bolts to the original drum brake spindles, so no spindle removal or front-end alignment is necessary, and track width and wheel backspacing remain unchanged.

What's Included:

  • Custom caliper mounting brackets
  • Grade 8 fitted bracket bolt kit
  • Caliper mounting bolts with flanged head
  • Rotor hub-centric ring
Installation Instructions
Fitment

Requires at least 19" wheels; the customer must verify wheel fitment. American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels will not clear the calipers. This kit fits drum brake spindles and hubs on 65-73 Ford Mustang and Cougar. Note that 65-67 disc brake spindles are the same as drum spindles and require a V8 drum hub. Will NOT fit Granada or 68-73 disc brake spindles.

Questions & Answers
Q: What wheel size do I need for the 15" GT500 rotor?

Plan on at least 19" wheels - the 15" GT500-spec rotor and six-piston Brembo caliper need significantly more clearance than the smaller Cobra/GT brake options, and American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels specifically will not clear the calipers.

Q: Do the GT500 brake components bolt straight onto the bracket?

The GT500 Brembo caliper mounts using the same bracket geometry as our 13.2" GT bracket, but the Brembo caliper's larger pistons are a tighter fit - some owners need to grind minor clearance on the bracket for the caliper body to clear.

Q: Do I need to source the GT500 brake hardware separately?

Yes - this kit includes the caliper mounting brackets only; you'll need the 2013-2014 GT500 caliper, rotor, and pads from a donor car or aftermarket supplier.
