Just wondering if a 14” Mustang rotor and caliper would fit in an 18” wheel. I know the GT500 verts came with 18” wheels (at least for a year or two), but wondered if I was missing something.

Now that I think of it, the guy in the thread I linked earlier that used GT500 parts had 18” wheels on that car.

Because I set up my hubs for Cobra rotors, it really would only be a new bracket to bolt GT500 rotors and calipers on. Oh, and new wheels. And new tires. And....:BangHead:

Rather use Scat Pack rotors and calipers (I am a Mopar guy), but that setup pushes the adapter bracket to the back side of the spindle. But now that I think of it, that’s how your is. Now I can’t wait to see how yours works and what it looks like from the side.

I still have a bunch of parts to collect, rotors, pads, cerakote to paint the calipers, wheels spacers, etc. There's an event here locally around a large lake with multiple checkpoints throughout happening in March. Total mileage will probably be around 150 miles. I don't think I'll do this upgrade before then. I'll try my brackets of course, and I want to take a close look at the lines and how they will connect to the rotor. I'm not a fan of how the hose pulls on the banjo fitting (even with my current setup). The aftermaket fittings don't seem to have much surface area and I feel they can deflect when at full lock with the tension of the hose (unless I use a really long hose). I'm thinking I may run a hard line from the caliper to a fitting captured on a bracket welded to the caliper adapter, then have the hose connect to that. This would eliminate the tension pulling directly on the banjo mounted to the caliper. I'm restoring a Porsche right now for a friend and that's how those cars are setup.
