Those brackets have a offset for GM rotors( the deck height), & will not work with the Mustang rotors which have a different deck height!
I made my own brackets in use with the Mustang rotors & I am using calipers from a 79-85 Caddy with e-brake. I got these from E-Bay/classicperform.com, new $136.53 ,shipped.
I talked with the tech guy @ skybrake about them getting brackets for the Mustang rotors ,but he said they outsource them!
The rotors are .95'' thick,2.56'' high & 11.32'' OD
$115.56 shipped from brakeplanet.com :mrgreen:

YES, what ever rotors you use ,you have to use calipers that are for the rotor thickness, then you have to make sure the caliper is centered over the rotor! If not you'll have drag,fiction & bad wear,& brakes that pull!
The bracket has to let the caliper sit @ center of the rotor!
I couldn't find any company with brackets for the Mustang rotors ( the offset ) needed!
All kits are for GM rotors for our trucks ,in less you go with Wlwood,( Revolution Brake)then you better have a lot of $$$$$$! :mrgreen:
