I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but you may have to buy a brake kit to use the Grenada rotors. The only rotors that will bolt on without an aftermarket kit that I know of are Mustang II rotors and depending on what you are using them on, they may be too small (although even Mustang II rotors will stop you better than the original drum brakes).

You would have to look around for a kit that uses the Ford rotors. Usually these kits come with the proper combination of bearings and races to allow you to use the rotors on your Mustang II spindles and a caliper bracket that will hold the Grenada calipers in place. Otherwise, you would have to fabricate this stuff yourself. I've used Mustang II spindles on two projects, but never used Grenada rotors. Speedway motors and others make a kit that allows the use of 11 inch Chevelle rotors (69-72) with GM calipers. I used that once and it worked out okay. I have also used stock Mustang II rotors (available in the aftermarket with a GM or Ford bolt pattern) with stock Mustang II caliper brackets and Mustang II calipers. The 11 inch Chevelle rotors were superior in braking to the smaller Mustang II rotors.
