    89 Shelby big brakes on 87 p body

    Will it work?
    I assume I need the knuckles, caliper, rotor and pads. Anything I am missing,
    thanks

    It'll work, but you may want to upgrade to the 24mm MC. You'll be pushing a lot more fluid into the calipers.

    I will soak the rusty rotors in molasses and water (1 to 5) for a week when I get home. Works great to remove rust from parts, the local feed store thinks I am making rum!
