    Hey Everyone, just bought a '72 Mercury Comet. 6 cylinder (250), c4 auto, factory air. Plans include '03 Mustang brakes, Mach I wheels, 302 w/c4. Will have plenty of questions and maybe can answer some. Thanks Phil

    tried to add photos, but it said they are too large?

    The rear brake conversion is from "Mustang Steve". It fit perfectly because this rear ('70 Mustang) is 3" wider and this allowed the use of these wider wheels with a lot of offset without adapters. Also there is more room for the emergency brake mechanism.
