All,

My second attempt at posting this....

I want to change a 1966 Mustang front drums to disc brakes, 4 bolt pattern and keep the original wheel and tire combination. ANy leads are welcome. I cannot find any solutions without changing wheels or bolt pattern. thanks in advance.

upgraded does not mean originality is kept.

You should look at Hemmings Clasic Cars.They should have what you are looking for.
I agree with rusted.

There are many 4 lug disc brake kits out there.

One possible solution is to buy the 5 bolt rotor kit and add 3 more holes to fit your 4 bolt wheels. It is done but not sure about Mustangs.

That era of Mustangs, the 6 cylinder models had 4 lug wheels.

The V8 had 5 lug.

That was just the tip of the iceberg! The entire car was different!

If you have a a 4 lug, it would have been, or still is a 6. The 6 suspension was minimal and not desirable is why it is hard to find aftermarket parts. I've never tried, but I suspect 5 lug would not just bolt on without more modifications.

I dont know of any aftermarket kits but I would think there would be some.
Might look into mustang 2 , maverick or Granada brakes.

Quick search came up with some options maybe.https://www.google.com/search?q=66+...nt=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mob

My 84 cougar has 4 lug discs on the front.

A donor maverick or grenada would be cheapest but I don't know if your wheels would have the clearance needed for the calipers. You might have to change wheels for the clearance but your tires will work on those wheels.
