This is the installation video showing the conversion from drum brakes on the rear of the 1973 Ford Mustang in the Autoedit garage to the Wilwood Superlite 4R Disc brakes!
Check out how easy and awesome it is to make the change.
Stay tuned because now the rear end is ready for actual setup and dial in...in the next video I'll show how to measure for the maximum size rims and tires to fit in the stock wheel well.
Thanks for watching,

Your videos are always informative and easy to understand. Thank you.
This is best install video of wilwoods I've seen! Congrats.
You need to market yourself. I absolutely love your videos. Extremely well done. Pretty much my favorite for DIY on the web!
Even though you didn't open up this video with your normal "Howdy" I'm still going to give you a thumbs up lol. I love what you're doing with your Mustang and I love the way you put your videos together, they're fun, interesting, never dull, and opening and closing with shots of the Mustang driving helps to always get me engaged. Way to go!
***** LOL, so noted about the howdy so, Howdy!!!
Thanks for checking in!
Disc's are great, I am putting them on all four corners of my 1947 cj2a :)
Great job, awesome brakes really up the fun factor of driving!
Great set up that looks awesome!
Haha these videos of yours are to me what Mad Max was to you. I want to go outside right now and start wrenching on my '95 mustang. Love the project sir, can't wait to see more.
oracleonyx That's super cool! Thanks!
Those willwoods are fn AWESOME!
awesome! thats what I was looking for, thanks man
Cant wait to see the vids on the engine
First vid that i seen from u and its great, explaining was really good and i understand everything clearly decently subscribing!!👌👍🤘
Thanks and welcome to the channel! I hope you like a few other videos around here!
Did you ever do the parking break cable install video? Wanted to see how you ran the cables in these old Mustangs
great vid, what did you torque the caliper mount to the axel housing at. Im putting this kit on my 68.
i want to do this conversion but i am not sure if i should replace my axel..
Hey bro how would I know if I have a small bearing or big bearing rear. I have a 1969 Mach 1 351 Windsor 2 barrel
Should I take the same steps that you did here for your Mustang on my C1500? I want to do the conversion since I'm planning on installing a bigger engine, bigger tires and wheels, so for that, you need bigger brakes!
+Bryan Bello Oh, for sure! This is a home run upgrade on anything with drums in the rear and fairly easy to do yourself.
+autoedit .. how hard is it on a 1969 dodge charger? My drums in the front are different than the one in this video!
Great video 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
@@AutoEdits You're welcome :)
It appears that the system uses the factory e-brake cable. Is that correct? If so it eliminates much of the hassles converting the rear brakes.
that looked great
Good shit you did a great job
What axels did you use?
your getting closer to seeing that old girl on the road cant wait
I'll be doing this on my 1939 Plymouth Street Rod. It had a Ford 9" with 5-4 1/2 bolt pattern and drum brakes with Wilwood Disk up front........ Great videos
Great info, thanks. I plan on doing this to my 78 Camaro. I hope it is similar.
Should be very similar... have fun!
You should show how you made your axles do you have a video?
What was the full price?
I love your videos and the Mustangs coming together well, but you haven't posted anything for over a month now!? Can you please update on the mustang 😁
amenvir gidha Howdy! Thanks for checking in...I just finished shooting a little update tonight and will try to get that up this weekend!
Great video, thanks for uploading this. I was watching the "Large Marge" playlist and noticed that this particular video doesn't feature in the playlist. Should this in fact be video 17?
+marine50k Yup! Fixed that...thanks a ton!!! Working on two more this weekend...
+autoedit Well I am really pleased to hear that. I await the uploads eagerly!
Safety tie them two bolts or all and do they supply the wire
hi there, do you have a video that shows how to install the master cylinder and proportioner? thank you.
+Andy M Not yet but in a month or so I should have something.
hey mate awesome video but I did notice a couple of things not explained. First I saw you cut the drive spline of axle, is this necessary when reinstalling standard axles in my 69 mustang,. Second thing I noticed was that the wheel register end of your axle appears to have been machined , ? any help appreciated , keep up the good work cheers Brent
These axles are universal cut to fit so if you are re-installing you might not need to cut. Not sure about that second thing.
I have a 1971 mustang on my channel that me and my dad built up and we need to know if a tremic 5 speed will fit behind our 351w stroker without a problem
Garrett TheBoss I've been talking to Jay at American Powertrain and yes you can get a T5 in there with less effort than you think. The main points are getting the proper Bell-housing and they even offer a cross-member for it to bolt right in!
autoedit Thanks!! but now we are thinking about putting a 1986 4 speed manual out of a foxbody to put in there cause we have one laying aound but we dont wanna tear up our 71 and in the end the tranny doesn even fit so would you have any tips for that? Thanks for responding though !
I've got two questions that maybe you can help with:
1) it looks like you upgraded the suspension. What did you use for it?
2)When switching from drum to disc, does that affect what size mag you can put on the car?
I've got a 67 RS Camaro that I'm upgrading but I'm a little lost as to what would be best to use to give it a solid ride and great braking.
Thanks!!
I use Total Control Products for my suspension and the Wilwood brakes bolted right on.
Nice setup, did you wipe the rotors down with solvent?
QQTrick1QQ I use brake clean and just get everything sparkly after the brake line bleeding. I somehow manage to get brake fluid everywhere during that process.
Awesome
Love from India man
Howdy!
i got a ford transit mark 7 Im thinking about more powerful disc brakes do u think I can. if u do. text back the people do it.
Did that Mustang come with the 9-inch or did you swap that in?
Yes, that is the original housing from that car.
I'm looking to do this with my 64 new yorker
Great info
Glad you think so!
Hi Jason. I have yet to see the new Mad Max movie yet. I've heard it's pretty good though. Maybe this weekend I can find a couple of hours to go to the Movie Theater and check it out. OK, so now that you've just about got the Stopping handled it's time to make it GO. lol. Have a great weekend. ttyl -Drew
did wilwood custom made this rear brake conversion for you
+Gustavo Mendoza This is a regular kit they sell for the Mustangs. Are you looking for a specific car?
One major problem, those bearings will have side to side movement after a few miles and the pads will have a fair amount of knock off. The reason Ford only used a single piston sliding head calliper. You will need to install a line pressure valve to attempt to keep the pedal up. On my semi slick shod Falcon racecar I need line valves front and rear. Those stubs flex a fair amount.
4 spot set ups are ever only functional on floating hubs. This is ditto for GM products too.
Anyone know of a decent conversion kit for a 69 camaro? Looking to convert from drum brakes and need to spend as little as I can
+Virtual Rain Designs Get some 1LE off of a junkyard late model. They bolt right up and will be better than what you have now.
Use factory set up off of a 69 thru about 75.
We can find all this brakes in your Amazon Page?
;)
I have a Mustang Hard Top 1973 Hatchback!!! So... We need see!!! Please ;)
I don’t have that stuff on the Amazon page… they sell direct or through Summitracing.com
This video was uploaded only two weeks ago it feels like 2 months
1:19 leaf spring
4:57 ??? มันหายไปไหน???
And he comes with the shims
Did you have to change the proportion valve
Yes you should change the prop valve... in this vehicle I actually changed the entire pedal setup.
Ok thanks
Five years ago, I purchased a front brake conversion kit from Mac’s auto that sat in a box until this week. It stated fitment for a 1964 Ranchero. Its description was: 41-83979-1, Front Disc Brake Conversion Kit, 5 Lug, Falcon, Ranchero, 1960-1965. So I assumed it was a perfect fit. Little that I know is this was to convert from a 4 lug on a V6 to a 5 lug as in a V8. The rotor bearings ID was way too narrow for the spindle. I contacted Mac’s technician and he suggested I get a bearing that would fit both parts. Problem is that the ID needed for the original spindle is too large and the OD for the rotor is too small. I thought about trying to just get a disc and place over the original hub, so I am in the process of hunting such a thing. Anyone else had such a problem? Suggestions?
Upgrade too the 16" 2021..
Why he didn't removed antire drum brake?
Some videos I saw they removed everything and just replaced the dics brake.
Not sure what you mean? This is how to install these brakes.
Why did you cut that axel at 1:38 im so confused
I bought universal axles and had to cut them to the proper length for my housing.
autoedit where did you get the splines cut at?
Hyundai Verna disc brake caliper
Do you have a shop number
3:41 car porn
flamefleir Yeah Buddy!
Why you cut Axle & not explaining?
These are universal fit axles and come longer than what I needed here so I cut them to fit.
First?
TheManicMike Almost!
Jump jump 🤣
Yeah buddy!
i hate drum break it make my jeep car broken
Have u done a 8 lug conversion on a dana 60
I haven't but watched a buddy do it a few times.
