Stop Action!
Like the rear brakes, the front Force 10 Tri-Power disc brake kit utilizes stout three-piston calipers and 13-inch rotors for extraordinary stopping power. Call it a life insurance policy you can have fun with because after accelerating, you want stopping power and control that keeps you safe. Everything imaginable is included in this kit for a quick bolt-on in an afternoon. SSBC also sent us the power booster and billet-aluminum master cylinder.

Richard Bramlett from The Restomod Shop marries the brake and axle before installation. This is Stainless Steel Brakes Corporation's drum parking brake assembly, which is mated to the axle before installation. You can do this either on a workbench or on the car by installing the axle and flange first. Note that the axle bearing isn't sealed, but instead it's lubricated with axle lube once installed.

Richard installs the unidirectional 13-inch rotor that is slotted and plated for heat dissipation and corrosion resistance. The rotor will mandate a complete wipe down with a high-evap solvent such as brake cleaner, lacquer thinner, or acetone.

Use a thread locker, such as high-temperature Loctite, on bolt threads before torquing to SSBC specifications. All fasteners need this close attention.

The rear Force 10 three-piston disc brake is a good-looking piece that outperforms anything in its class. Reclaim's stopping power will exceed underhood power by a wide margin.

SSBC includes braided stainless steel brake hoses for exceptional performance. Washer and fitting surfaces must be hospital clean for proper sealing. Again, follow recommended torque and don't overtighten.

Richard begins the front brake installation with caliper brackets, again remembering to use thread locker and proper torque values.
You can never give your Mustang's...
You can never give your Mustang's wheel bearings too much lubrication. We suggest high-temperature wheel-bearing grease designed for disc brakes. Massage it into the bearings until they're completely saturated. Bearing cups should be bathed in wheel-bearing grease as well. Apply a thin film on the axle spindle between bearings; you don't want grease between the bearing and axle. The bearings should remain stationary at the axles.
