SN95 and Cobra front brakes.... i think im going to do this

i was browsing around on the internet and ran across this for my '67 mustang and then i thought, why not a maverick? ill do just like they done... make 2 plates, shim them properly and attatch them together. i have a '94 GT with Cobra front brakes that i can pull and another '94 GT parts car that has the whole front suspension/brakes with slotted and drilled stock-size brakes. i really like this idea and if i can do it im going to. here's an idea of what im talking about....

thoughts anyone???

 

That's a great article! I like it very much!!!

 

Ray, this would look (and function) awesome on your car!!! just thought about that when i seen you replied

 

Ms

As geometry goes...that looks like a good set up to me. I would probably make the brackets out of steel. Then you really don't have to worry about galled threads and what not in a few years when you have to dis-assemble for service. Plus I over build everything especially when it comes to brakes.

Thanks for posting. I like homebrew.

if i make brackets, i promise they'll be steel. im familiar with it, have plenty and IMO would be alot better for this. i dont think it will be too hard. we'll see how it goes and ill post what i come up with and when

 

Got a few other things I'm trying to get done right now but that looks like a great project in the near future. Let me know when you get those steel brackets made.

some more nice info Lance! Thanks! but i guarantee i can beat their price on the brackets

 

Thats what I was going to post, I've talked to those guys a few times, nice stuff!!

 

I must have overlook this thread. I does any make a kit to upgrade the cars that already have front disc brakes?

 

not to my knowledge...

 

Will mustang spindles fit?

 

Thats a very good idea.

Now you could always be nice and send a set of those spindles to me so I can put them on my early fox mustang to convert to 5 lug

 

so correct me if im wrong, so all you need is the steel brackets to convert your drum brakes to disc. And you can you your same drum spindles ????????????

 

if i had a sample i could make these..........
