That kinda' describes all Mustang disk brakes....but if they are from a
71 Mustang, 14" wheels should fit. 71s with disk brakes had 14" wheels.
Boss's had 15".

I would take the pads to the store and check a few possibles..
How are the pads installed? Are they single piston sliding calipers?
(that is what 68-73 are)

Christopher,

Take the brake pads off and check for numbers...If its a bendix
granada brake pad and isn't *too* worn, I can tell you from right now the
part number is 6299 BX HQ FF 7027 AO.

Of course if the numbers do match make sure you take in your old pad
to compare them. About a month ago when I changed my brake pads the wrong
pads were given to me in the right box..So you never know...

66 Mustang...Just painted
