Swapped to Muscle - 75 Duster Daily build

OK, got some info on the brackets and swap info.

Basically, for the rear, it will need a metric to standard fitting. That should be all that is needed to connect the rear calipers. Rears would be 11.81" rotors and either the single piston or dual piston brembo caliper.

The front is where things get interesting. DionR mentioned, its very similar to the thread that AndyF made about the conversion. Its really meant for drum brake spindles as it needs a hub from the drum backing or one from DoctorDiff (Billet Aluminum version). For the hoses/lines, it seems that it can adapt right to disk brake lines using the mustang banjo fitting. The front rotor sizing that are compatible with the bracket would be: 11.5", 12.4", 13.2", and 14" are compatible along with the 15 inch will work too with the extra 5/16" spacers.

While initially, it seems like it would be a cost effective conversion for both front and rear brake upgrades... it might not be. With the additional expense of the hub, the parts list would minimally look like this without any of the lines/hoses:

Rear axle shafts for 8.75: 300
Brackets for F/R disks: 260
2014 Mustang Calipers/rotors/pads kit on ebay: 343
Billet Aluminum hub for front disk spindle: 300
Total cost without shipping roughly: 1203

With some of the additional/unexpected parts, I am guessing it will be around 1350-1400 for just the 5x4.5 conversion/rear disk conversion/big brake conversion.

Whereas, with the explorer swap:

JY 8.8 axle w/3.73 limited slip (11.2" rear disk brake): 200 (incl local taxes rounded up)
Perches: Already own
Driveline mods: minimum 100
Hoses/lines: 50-100
11.75" caliper brackets: 90
11.75" rotors: 145
Total cost roughly: 635 +/- so lets round up to 700.

It seems to me that the clear winner for the budget oriented would be to stick with the explorer swap and upgrade the front to the larger 11.75" brakes. Being completely realistic, I dont think that either option is bad. There are some serious bonuses with the mustang brake setup... I am just not sure how much of an upgrade it would be or if those bonuses are worth almost double the cost.
