Great info, thanks Jack!!!

I had routed the brake lines over the calipers (that's when the tiny leak started). With the hoses over the calipers they rubbed on the inside of the wheel. Not much, but enough that I think I'd be better off re-routing them again to the inside / coil over area.

I bought upgraded rotors and calipers from Clois (who bought them from speedway if I remember correctly). I'll be installing them just as soon as I confirm that I've got to grind off a wee bit of the lower suspension arm so that it doesn't hit the rotor.

The old Mustang II calipers are going onto another car (Montage) with a new set of rotors. The Montage has 14" front wheels so the Mustang II brakes are as good as I'm going to do for now.

Got any ideas for better pads for the Mustang II brake calipers?

thanks again,
petek
