Mustang 1700 brake parts

[Berlincam86]

Anyone have a source for parts for the brake system for a mustang 1700. They took out everything. Want to replace it. New or used as long as it works.

The master cylinder and wheel cylinders can be had at Napa. The brake lock on eBay. However, I couldn't find any of the other parts "new". So I had a damaged pivot plate on one pad and had to have it laser cut. Here's what the complete cab unit and backing plates look like:

Good luck.

Hello Al,
My local Napa countermen leave a little to be desired; we tried searching Owatanna Mustang 1700 (and variations thereof), John Deere 170, with no luck. Would you happen to know part numbers for the master and wheel cylinders? Also, what did you do for drums and pads etc.?
I just picked up a Mustang 1700, Ford, torque converter unit that has had the entire brake system, save the backing plates, deleted, and I hope to recreate some stoppers. How thick would you say the backing plate holding the Master is? Any help/advise appreciated. Thanks. Joe

Joe,

Sorry for the delayed response.

I can answer a few of your questions but have to finish with harvest before I can gather up the rest of the information for your request. Unfortunately, you're goin to have a heck of time finding everything without a complete donor. The master mount seems to be unique to the 1700. The master cylinder I used was M36071. That number works for both Napa and eBay. I used a new Wagner off eBay. I posted a pic of the complete master mounting - you can see there's a lot of parts. I reused the drums and pads that were on mine as they were in good shape. Also, I could never find anything close to either when I was overhauling mine. As I said previously, I had damaged parts the I had laser cut for replacement. I'll (later) measure the thickness of the master backing plate for you, give you a number for slaves, post a picture from the parts manual, and other photos that might help you. I have another complete parts 1700 - I'll check but I'm pretty sure it never came with the brake kit.
