Hello,
I have just completed installing 75 granada front disc brakes on my 65 mustang. Replaced wheel bearings, new disc, new pads all new seals. Problem is with the brake line from the caliper to the hard line at the wheel house. Does anyone know of a brake line that can be bought off the shelf that will go from the caliper to the hard line?  Will I need to have a line made?
Also, I have seen tie rods in mustang parts magazines for this conversion and they are costly. Would the 75 granda tie rods work?
Thank You

Usually you will have to at least add an adptor to the steel to mate it with the rubber.You could just reflair
the steel with a bigger fitting. Yes granda tie rods will fit if you don't have power steering,but if you do you will have to pony-up the salad for the expensive drivers side tie rod because it's bent.Dave 6t6 is correct that mustangs plus does have the correct ones.
Hope this helps

Yes, I will be converting over to power steering and power brakes. I was afraid I would need to purchase the tie rod. The original drum brake line came straight out and pointed to the frame. The granada caliper brake line comes out and points to the front of the vehicle. When I tried to test fit the orginal mustang line and the granada line the angle caused the line to kink.  Thanks for the responce.

Do you know if the 75 granada will work for a 67 also or is it different?
