Upgrade the front braking performance of your classic Ford with the Baer Brakes 4261561R Classic Series Front Brake Kit. Designed as a period-correct improvement for select 1962-1969 Ford Mustang, Fairlane, Falcon, Torino, Mercury Cougar, Comet, and Cyclone applications, this complete system delivers modern braking capability while maintaining compatibility with select 14-inch and most 15-inch and larger wheels. The kit uses Baer’s original aluminum, 2-piston, pad-guided calipers finished in red powder coat with a contrasting black Baer logo.
The kit includes slotted and drilled zinc-plated rotors with integral hubs, premium wheel bearings with races installed, dust caps, caliper brackets, stainless braided brake hoses, and installation hardware. The rotors and calipers are paired with commonly available FMSI D412 brake pads, making replacement service straightforward. This Baer Brakes system is engineered for improved stopping performance at an economical price while providing a clean, period-appropriate appearance for classic street and performance builds.
For proper hydraulic balance, Baer recommends pairing this system with a 15/16-inch master cylinder. Manual-brake applications may use a 7/8-inch master cylinder, while larger master cylinders can create excessive pedal effort. Wheel clearance can vary by manufacturer, design, and spoke configuration, so Baer cannot guarantee fitment with every specific wheel. Before installation, use the applicable Baer template to compare the brake system clearance with the intended wheel. Professional installation and proper brake-system bleeding are recommended.
