also you will need to run some washers underneth the castle nut on the ball joints or switch to the sn 95 ball joints or you will run out of threads on the fox ball joints. other than that,sounds like your ready to go!

It looks like you already have the banjo bolts in the calipers so just swap those onto the fox lines. I had SS brakelines on mine when I swapped it all over and didnt want to lose that so I used the PBR calipers banjos bolts (new washers) and they worked.

yes you can run these. I ran a set off an 02 bullitt and they look great. With those springs you will probably have a little rub in the front but nothing bad. There is a guy on Corral that makes and sells the .330 spacer for the front spindle. fit perfect. Have fun.

Just go to NAPA and ask for a Weatherhead 7828 fitting. That's what LRS is selling...and you don't need to pay $15 to ship it to you either

Sweet... I actually came upon a real good deal for some 95 cobra's

400 rims/tires... two tires brand new, two tires with lots of tread left.
The guy needs 17's to fit over the brakes on his 65. So i will be picking these up tonight.



I just need the breeze rear rotors and a couple weatherhead fittings and i'll have everything.

I'll put up pics later.

Peace.

I know they are not ideal... but i think it's a good deal.

i'd love 17's, but for now 16's will get me on the road again.

I take it you are not gonna run the cobra 13" brakes then.

I didn't even know they made 16" Cobra R's

Here's the SN95 4 to 5 lug 4 wheel disc brake upgrade article I wrote and photographed using my 88 GT daily driver for Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords. John Scatterday of Scatts Auto performed most of the surgery. If you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to PM me.

so the only real question i still haven't figured out is where to mount the brake proportioning valve...

on my 91 it was an easy place, passenger-side firewall application...

but on the 80... i dunno yet? anyone have experience with this on a 79-82?
