Are the Hubs and rotors only for the front brakes on a mustang?

all, I've a set of OEM spindles leftover after I borrowed the calipers and brackets for my '66 econoline disc brake conversion. The set-up came with the original 2 piece hub/rotor. The rotors are bad, but if anyone needed the old style hub for the 2 piece, I've got a set.

There is a guy selling this stuff and I was wanting to know about where the hubs went.

not sure of the origin of the particular setup he's selling, but 2 piece rotor/hub setups are not a bad idea. A lot of modern performance (and even stock late model stuff) comes this way.

Basically it means when you change the rotor, the hat stays on the stub so you dont have to regrease and reset bearings each time.

have a look at these... http://www.buybrakes.com/baer/

the one about halfway down with the wheel studs is what most older mustangs have. to take the rotor off you have to take the cap off, bearing retainer and bearings. the others are removable rotors leaving the studs and bearing assy on the stub axle.

hoep this helps

So your trying to get rear disc right.You still have the 7.5 or is it a 8 inch.If i remember right ford used the 7.5 for a long time its still in the new v6 mustang i think.Early fox body mustangs even v8 had it crown vic about same years maybe you can get rear disc off one of them.

Could I take SN95 spindles and put them on my 67 with no problem or would I have to mod them?
