Master Power Brakes REAR DRUM UPGRADE KIT

[ausstang 10]

Has any one fitted one of these 11" kits to their car, I am really interested in some feed back. Are the improvements noticable & worth the money.

I would really like to stay with the original look & my original brakes are shot, so it's a good time to consider an upgrade. Any other suggestions welcome, cheers Vic.

Yep - did it about 3 years ago. Highly recommend as a cost effctive way to stop better. Easy upgrade to complete.

I bought my rear drum brakes from Strange, as i was buying other parts from them anyways. Came complete, bolt on and go.

Comparable price and work great.

Can you use 15" wheels with the 11" drums? I would like to get this kit just not sure if the Magnum 500's would still work. Is there anything extra I would need to make 15's work?

Works just fine with 15" Magnums.... The MP Brakes rear brakes are very easy to install. Like SuperDuty's Strange set, they come fully assembled.

Thanks coz. I'm going to order a set tomorrow.

Hey guys, I ordered the kit today but have another question. I was doing some research on the install and came across a Mustang Monthly article that said that an indexing spacer was needed for proper drum alignment. Did you guys need to use this spacer and if so where did you buy it from?

 

Thanks for the help

I just installed my Master Power 11" rear brakes last week. I have posted some pics to my album so take a look. As far as an indexing spacer, there is a round centering ring you have to use to make sure the drums are centered on the axles. The ring mounts in the center hole of the drum and slides over the axles. Piece of cake.

 

My car isn't back on the road yet, but I'm sure they will be real stoppers as others have said. Bruce

Pictures look great, they will come in handy. Thanks for the response Bruce.
