In it's most basic form an ABS counts magnetic pulses and when they drop below a certain % of road speed the ABS opens a pressure relief valve. The better systems are 4 channel and can open/close about 10 times a second or faster.
Even if the piston area is completely off, as long as the percentage of braking front to rear is about the same shouldn't it still work ? I havn't really educated myself as to how the ABS brain flows the fluid. Does it only send a certain amount ? I thought it pushed fluid unit it saw a certain reading from the censors and then backed off then repeated.

1.1" (found it on some Hummer detailed spec list)
I'd be more concerned about the diameter of the holes used to mount the caliper. If they are smaller they could be drilled out, if they are larger a shim could be pressed in place.
here's a good read on ABS stuff. for the most part the "brain" uses the sensors to determine when to pulse the brake pressure but there are ofther factors as well. fortunately though, the sn-95 cars are pretty similar in front to rear weight bias as well as the general specs of the brake system so as long as you use something from an sn-95 stang you'll probably be fine, apparently the cobra unit is the one to have as it has yaw control as well. but i'm sure a brain from even a jeep cherokee would work ok as well since it is also very similar to an early mustang.
The holes are threaded for metric bolts so the bolts would go through a bracket, with shims as necessary, and bolt into the caliper itself. I have asimilar setup on my 86 4 Runner now. That's what got me looking in the first place.
you beat me to it there. i was going to say that pretty much all 80's and 90's 4x4 toyotas had the 4 piston caliper as well, this is a vert popular swap on early z-cars and it's supposed to be almost a direct bolt in on the z-cars from what i undrstand. it would probably work well on an early mustang as well. not sure how much different the 01 tundra calipers are from the older versions though.
I bought the Cobra Automotive bracket and use the 66 Tbird rotor (Raybestos 6008) with an early Mustang disc hub.Arty, we would love to hear what parts you used to get the caliper mounted to the spindle and what rotors you used as well.
Makes no difference to me what you do (or dream of doing).Arty, there certainly are better choices and lighter ones but the problem is that for those of use who wish to retain our 15" wheels and have a bigger than 11" rotor there just isn't anything in the way of options besides this. yes, it's heavy but if you take into consideration the weight of the bigger brakes and offset that against the weight of aluminum wheels vs the stock steel wheels the difference in unsprung weight is about the same, so i'm not all that concerned, though it would be nice to have an aluminum caliper, i can live with it.
