Call the folks over at Kentucky Mustang. Ask for Will. Tell him you saw this video and need a kit for a 6 cylinder Mustang. They should be able to here you.
Chris I have an I6 engine which means 4 lug drums. I want to convert all 4 wheels to 5 lugs. Are there any 4 wheel conversion kits to 5 lugs out there? What do I need to ensure these kits contain?
Sorry about that.....Sometimes my terminology is for the experienced & I forget who my audience is....Bolt the wheels on the drums... Adjust to have a bit of drag on the brake drums as you turn the tires by hand...Adjust before & after the system is bled. The length of hose given it the kit is for the most common uses. You may have to get more..
Hello Chris, hope your holidays were good. I did order this from Kentucky Mustang (arrives today in fact) but an you give good tips on adjusting the proportioning valve ? There has to be some method like "Start with quarter turns" or something....Don't really want to lock up the rears and keep trying till they don't ...LOL...any tips ? Like I said I have this exact kit
Hi Bob. Start with full turns one way or the other until you are feeling some type of an effect. Please tell Kentucky that you saw my video... Thanks !
Doc, you are amazing. I would like to install a booster on my 1965 Mustang Convertible (289/Auto). I will be keeping the drums all around. Will I need a single or double bowl? I found the following on Kentucky Mustang (Manufacturer Part #: PBC-A3) and (Part #: 494). Which would be the best set up? Thanks
What about 1965 Mustang with 289 in it and will the same rims fit or do I need bigger one since we going from 4 Lug to 5 Lug. and wonder if they do the back kit too
Hey Chris, I have the kit and ready now to install (theold drum system stuff is already off the spindles). The kit came with medium and heavy Loctite...where should that be used ? Zero instructions in the kit...Thanks !!!!
Hey Chris, not sure if you have ever seen this. I am redoing the drum brakes on my 66 mustang resto. When I was done on the front, I had spare parts and found the instructions. It appears they added the parts for self-adjusters. Did the 66 come with self-adjusters ? I haven't seen that in install videos BUT I do plan on using them ..just makes sense. Was that a feature added after 66 AND ..how the heck did people keep fronts adjusted before that ? :-) Wishing you the best
I promise you its the fronts. I have adjusters and hardware for all 4 ...Here is a link to the instructions (a picture I took) and yes, it all fits 1drv.ms/u/s!AoQ15fY-JFvS-NtdEUDz6sVGcDJE2w
Hi. This video is for the conversion of the front brake's to Disc style from drum. So naturally I thought that is what you were doing. In your case since you are sticking with front drum brakes then yes by all means install the self adjuster hardware..
Thanks ..sorry to bug you on it but 1) Watched another video and he skipped that entirely and 2) Mine did not have it on - just a spring from the bottom of the two shoes....strange but all good now...thanks
At some point in the cars past. A mechanic left those parts off. Most likely because he did not want to spend the time or money replacing the worn parts..
Hi Steven.. No I haven't from Kentucky. We put a few Wilwood & MPB systems.. & have seen most of whats on the market. The challenge is making the parking brake function in those conversions.
@@MustangRestorationsInc Thanks Chris I seen this video and looked to easy your thoughts? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5XxbSRpglgg.html
