I Am getting ready to do the 13" Cobra Brake install on my 69. Does anyone have pics of the cobra brakes installed as well as the parts. I am doing the front only. The rear I am installing the 8.8 out of a 96 Cobra. so the conversion is rear end not brake.

Pics on website in signature

I put up some pictures on the website, in the signature below. They are mounted on the '66, but Cobra brakes are Cobra brakes.
Also if you look at the page on swapping in the '67 radiator support, you'll see what they look like from the inside.
I think Mustang Steve has a pretty good write up with pictures of the whole installation process.
Good luck! They work very well once dialed in.

Did you have any problems with the disk setting flat against the hub. Mine has 1/8" Gap and it is because the hub diameter is just slightly too large (Factory 69 Drum Hubs with Factory 96 Rotors). I think I will have to have the Hub turned or add a spacer. Also were your wheels a direct fit or did you have to add a spacer.
