Your Mustang.
The next chapter starts here.

Build your 1965–1966 Mustang around parts that work together. Shop the details at your own pace, or bring us the whole plan. We want to earn your business through every stage of the build.

Start with your setup

  • Identify your vehicle: Body style, engine, spindle type and steering configuration.
  • Choose a system: Use the links above to compare the selected parts and read the installation requirements beside them.
  • Plan the supporting parts: Check what is included, what is sold separately and what changes with your existing hardware.
  • Bring LTAC your build checklist if you want help matching the package.

Each product has its own application limits. The year range on this page does not mean every part fits every vehicle in that range.

01 / Start with your spindle

Wilwood Dynalite front brakes

Six-cylinder or converted front end? Do not select these kits by model year alone. Six-cylinder spindles, four-lug wheels, Mustang II conversions and aftermarket spindles need separate matching. Let’s identify your setup.

Finish the installation

Wilwood lists 220-12168 flexlines for these kits. Hoses are sold separately. Check your master cylinder, proportioning and rear brakes as a complete system.

Published hub offset is +0.09 inches. Check wheel bolt pattern, mounting-face contact and the exact clearance diagram; a nominal wheel diameter is not a fit guarantee.

What’s next for your Mustang?

Steering, suspension, cooling and fuel delivery should match your engine, wheels and intended use. Tell us what is already on the car and where you want to take it. We can work through the supporting parts with you.

These links open the full categories, not a Mustang fitment-filtered selection.

Know the setup before you order.

Which front spindle and wheel do I need?

Use Wilwood’s vehicle guide to match the factory V8 drum or disc spindle, then review DS-711 installation instructions. Spindle-specific preparation may be required. For changed or unidentified front ends, confirm the actual components first.

Use the wheel diagram on the exact kit page, including hub-face and stud-pattern checks.

Is the wiring kit a stock replacement?

It is a Classic Update system for modified cars. Review the charging, instruments and accessory restrictions above. For an early-production car often called a 1964½, the instructions also identify a headlight-switch knob/shaft requirement.

Can LTAC help with the whole build?

Send the year, engine, spindle setup, wheel details and planned upgrades through Customer Support. Or shop directly from the product pages when you have the details covered.
