    Front suspension idea

    So . . . they indicated we could purchase just the K-member and their control arms separately? If so, we could use the SN95 adapter and use those spindles. Regarding the ackerman angle . . . again, if you place the spindle in exactly the same location (center of the wheelwell), there will be...

    Front suspension idea

    Right . . . well, let's talk a little bit about the ackerman angle for a minute . . . Basically, it is an angle where the outer wheel has a larger turn radius than the innter wheel. So, that means that the inner wheel must turn inward more than the outer wheel. The components that...

    Front suspension idea

    Ackermann Angle The only way that the wheelbase would change is if the position of the center of the spindle changed. If you are just replacing parts, it's likely that you would want to keep the spindle in the same exact place, in order to position it in the center of the wheelwell...

    K-Member Did you ever hear back from AJE about just the purchase of their K-member?

    SN95 Spindle Adapter Where exactly did you find that spindle adapter? Who makes it? Is it designed to bolt to the upper control arms on a classic Mustang? Details, man--details!

    Explorer Serpentine on a 65 289

    I used a 1/4" soft plug--I think it originally was used for oil galleries. Another method would be to tap it for pipe thread, and use a small pipe thread plug in it . . . not sure, but I think it's 1/8" pipe thread.

    Explorer Serpentine on a 65 289

    I've got a complete Explorer setup that came with the engine I put in my '70, and I believe that the way the accessories are laid out, the A/C compressor will hit the left shock tower. I ended up using the accessory drive brackets and accessories from a Fox-body instead, and went with GM...

    '70 drum spindles FS, freshly painted, $175+ship, $150 local cash

    What do you mean "as a guideline"? With all due respect, you can buy these things from literally hundreds of salvage yards for $35-$45 each, and some of them even come with the drums attached! Congratulations on your sale--you got pretty lucky, but they do NOT normally sell for the price you...

    Rear Drum Size question

    Hi, All-- OK, I took a gamble and purchased the 2" brake drum, shoes and mounting hardware; I found that the difference in the drum was that the 2" drum had a friction surface that was 1/4" further outboard within the drum, making up for the difference in the shoe width. Of course, since...

    Rear Drum Size question

    Hi, D.Hearne-- With all due respect, they are indeed different, and you can't use a 2" shoe in a 1-3/4" drum; they are completely different drums altogether, and have difference sized friction surfaces. But--don't take my word for it--you can look it up yourself in your favorite parts...

    Rear Drum Size question

    Thanks for replying, D.Hearne, but there most certainly is a difference between the 1-3/4" and 2" shoes AND drums. As I mentioned in my previous post, I suspect the entire difference between the systems is in the drums themselves, and the attaching hardware for the shoes. I'll try to go...

    Rear Drum Size question

    Thanks for the information, but I was looking for an answer from someone who actually has checked into this; I do know for a fact that the axles don't stick out further (we would know about it, and there would be a lot of information regarding it when trying to swap rearends). I also know...

    Rear Drum Size question

    Hi, all-- OK, so I've got a '70 Mustang coupe, and it's time to do a brake job on it. It came with a 302 2-V and power front disks & rear drum brakes, with an 8" rear axle assembly. I have found that there are two widths of these brakes--1-3/4" and 2". I haven't been able to tell...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    Any new word? Hey, Dennis--it's been 4 months since you posted anything about the new spindles that use the SN95 calipers (and I assume, can also use the SN95/Cobra hub and rotor too); any new word on this?

    Has anyone seen info on a late model IFS swap into a classic stang?

    I think this might be what you're looking for, or close to it: http://ajeracing.com/64-70Mustang.php I considered using this kit, but they don't have these on their shelves--when you order, there is a 6- to 9-week delay before you actually get the parts, and I really didn't have that kind...

    Mustang Drop Spindles

    I, for one, am interested in this combination--I currently have OEM Disc brakes on my '70 Retro-mod, and since I haven't sold it yet, I'm considering upgrading it a bit at a time until I eventually do get it sold. One of the things I've wanted to do was to upgrade to the late-model Cobra...
