Hi Guys,
It's nice to have the site back again,Thanks to who ever it was that got us up and going again!!! I found a 1976 Mercury Marquie and I was wondering if the disc brakes would work on my 57? I know if they are like the granadas I would have to do some reaming. I can buy the whole thing for $100.00, maybe the master cyclinder and proportioning valve would work also?
Thanks Guys,Club Coupe 57

  Well I answered my own question, the 76 Marquie disc brake set up won't work, the hub pattern is bigger on the Marquie, and went to the local Napa store and asked "Earl" if granada hubs would fit on the Marquie spindles, not, bearings on the Granada our smaller, I learned a good lessen don't take what someone says will work for granted ,measure first!!!!
