The Right Stuff Detailing ZDC6405 is a front disc brake conversion built specifically for 1964-1966 Ford Mustangs running factory drum brakes. This Street Series kit gives owners of early Mustangs modern stopping power without re-engineering the front suspension. Single-piston calipers and 11-inch cast-iron rotors bolt directly to the original Mustang spindle geometry, so the swap works within the car's stock layout. It's aimed at the restorer, weekend cruiser, or driver who wants confident, repeatable braking from a 60-year-old chassis. For anyone tired of drum fade on a daily-driven classic, this is the upgrade most early Mustang owners reach for first.
The kit ships complete. Right Stuff includes the 11-inch cast-iron rotors with offset hat construction, single-piston calipers, spindles, bearings, grease seals, dust caps, castle nuts, washers, cotter pins, brake pads, flex hoses, banjo bolts, and a master cylinder. The offset hat design pulls the rotor face away from the hub, which improves airflow across the rotor and reduces brake fade under repeated stops. Rotors carry a natural finish. Because the calipers are engineered to mount to the original suspension, you're not fabricating brackets or modifying the spindle bosses. Compared to the factory drum setup, the disc conversion sheds heat faster and delivers shorter, more consistent stops. Total shipping weight runs 90 lbs, with the kit packaged at roughly 17 x 17 x 25.5 inches.
Most buyers install this kit during a brake refresh or a larger restoration, when the front end is already apart for spindle and bearing service. It suits street-driven Mustangs and mild performance builds where drum brakes can't keep up with traffic and hills. Since the kit covers the front axle only, owners chasing balanced braking often pair it with upgraded rear hardware and a matched master cylinder. We stock a full range of brake conversion components, replacement brake pads, and brake rotors to keep the system serviced down the road.
This kit is built for 1964-1966 Ford Mustangs and bolts to the original front suspension geometry. The single-piston calipers and 11-inch rotors are engineered to mount without modifying the factory spindle bosses, making it a direct conversion from the original drum setup on these model years.

Disc brakes shed heat faster than drums, which reduces fade during repeated stops in traffic or on grades. The offset hat rotor design improves airflow for better heat dissipation, giving you shorter, more consistent stops than the factory drum brakes can deliver.
No. The ZDC6405 is a front disc conversion only. Owners who want balanced front-to-rear braking often add a matched rear setup and a compatible master cylinder. We carry rear and conversion hardware to round out the system.
Offset hat construction moves the rotor friction surface outward from the mounting hub. This positioning opens up airflow across the rotor face, which improves cooling and reduces the brake fade that builds during repeated hard stops.
