Ok, great news, it would be the thicker bracket then. I really needed to hear it from you experts, thanks!So you need to think of the axle assembly like it’s going into an SN95 car. Basically upgrading a 1995 GT to Cobra brakes.
I was hoping the aluminum would be better... that kit is decent but I already have rotors. Now you have me thinking about the aluminum and holes enlarging over time ugh.. I'm not going to sleep now lolYou need either the m-2300-m kit
Or the cheaper LMR kit. The difference being the axle brackets in the Ford kit are cast iron, and the LMR brackets (which are sold on eBay for under $100 by a Chinese vendor) are aluminum. Also no rotors
You also need the Cardone 14-1042 bracket above.
Good deal but a year old..I would send a message but I'm not on that site, and he's on the other side of the countryOlder add on the Corral but the guy is still active and may have still have the brackets.

I went down to finish up the job this morning, I left the parking brake cables for last thinking it would be a 10 minute job. It seems like I have to cut a notch in the moan brackets now so the cables can fit.. is this normal? Or am I doing something wrong here? I needed to pull some slack out so they would reach, they reach the hole but can't go in because they hit the brackets.
E brake cables, there is a possibility that you can re use your factory e brake cables by relocating the brackets so they dont make contact with the wheels, what i did was buy some steel zip ties and attach the brake cable to the calipers and zip tie the loose part of the cable to the lower control arms, then relocate the bracket by drilling 2 holes one for the screw and one for the retaining fold (you'll see what i mean when you get down there) if you go this route you do not need to modify your e brake cable, now this isnt guaranteed to work(worked on my 88 but not my 87)
