I need some help with sourcing some parts. (I did a search on the forum and couldn't find specifics)

I would like to see some nice pictures of Cobra rears so I know what I am looking for.

Here is what I think I need;
-11.65" vented rotors
-SN95 rear caliper w/ cobra pads
-Bracket for attaching caliper to axle (cobra specific??)
-five lug axles from a Ranger
-anti moans, dust shields, e brake cables

Any pictures would help a lot. THX

That kit comes with everything but the calipers.

As for axles, you will need 94-98 5-lug Mustang axles. The ranger axles will not work.

Yup, if you want to use the ranger axles use that bracket.

There's another small bracket you'll need. Not sure if it comes with the calipers. It's a small U-shaped bracket that attached to the caliper and then bolts to the two mounting locations there.

Unfortunately i can't tell from the pic. It looks like you are pointing to the anti-moan bracket.

Can you find a picture of the calipers? I can tell right away if the bracket comes with them

If you want to run the ranger axles you will have to a North Cobra bracket. Call Rich @ 816-436-1610. He works for North Race cars and knows everything you will need for your Ranger axle swap.

Rich at north cobras is great he sent the brackets to me before I even sent him the money.The gt calipers will work but you will need cobra caliper brackets or you will need to modify the gt ones to fit the cobra vented rotor I had to cut and grind about a 1/4 out of the gt bracket.Also check out discbrakesrus.com they sell conversion kits at pretty good prices witht he calipers powdercoated.You will also have to change your mastr cylinder and proportioning valve .Also check out this site he helped me alot and sent me everything I needed for the proportioning valve.http://mjbobbitt.home.comcast.net/mustang/product.html
